At Hinshelwood Arboricultural Consultants, our experienced team provides professional advice on all aspects of tree management. We specialise in tree consultancy for planning and development, delivering expert guidance in line with BS 5837:2012 for trees in relation to construction. We also offer comprehensive tree risk assessments, condition and safety surveys, tree management strategies, and specialist tree decay detection services for individual trees and large tree populations.

With decades of experience working across Scotland, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling, East Lothian, Newcastle, and beyond, we have developed a deep understanding of local planning authority requirements and tree-related planning restrictions. Our in-depth knowledge allows us to produce thousands of high-quality, bespoke technical tree reports for a wide range of clients.

We regularly collaborate with planning consultancies, developers, landowners, and architectural practices to meet their arboricultural needs. Highly regarded across Scotland, we are known for delivering clear, concise, and pragmatic tree advice tailored to your project's requirements.

We undertake BS 5837 tree surveys and arboricultural reports for development sites in all major regions of Scotland. Local authorities typically require a tree survey to be submitted with planning applications—our team ensures you have the right documentation to move forward with confidence.
