We appointed Arborway to undertake comprehensive tree condition surveys across our 6200-acre estate, including along roadsides, within a registered park and garden, and along more than 20 miles of Public Rights of Way and permissive paths.

The reports were clear, detailed, and delivered promptly, enabling us to manage risk with confidence and clearly demonstrate due diligence. Arborway also developed a comprehensive Tree Risk Management Strategy tailored specifically to our estate, providing a practical and robust framework for our ongoing management.

In addition they carried out several Picus tomograph surveys, producing thorough, accessible reports that supported informed and proportionate decision-making.
Alan was highly communicative throughout the process and responded promptly whenever further surveys or advice were required.

Professional and knowledgeable, and efficient, we would not hesitate to recommend Arborway’s services.

Goodwood Estate, Goodwood, Chichester, West Sussex PO18 OQF

Alan Richardson has been personally responsible for the majority of the tree related surveys at the Goodwood Estate for over a decade. It was important to the estate that a good relationship, based on trust, could be forged due to the complexity and multifaceted nature of the business which attracts many thousands of visitors every year. From new building sites to estate properties, including Goodwood House and grounds, and miles of footpaths and roads, all full of trees, the task of keeping trees and people safe is a large and complicated operation.

Alan’s support and direction ensured that Goodwood has a n impressive and robust tree survey system with regular Tree condition surveys and reports, BS 5837 2012 survey and AIA/AMS reports and where required, Picus reports which have in several cases saved aged veteran trees from being removed before their time. He has also completed the new Goodwood Tree Risk Management Strategy documents for our Health and Safety team.

I would recommend Alan and Arborway Ltd to any substantial business that wishes to take tree health seriously.
