Root Investigation Reports
We use advanced AirSpade technology to carry out precise, low-impact root investigations on sensitive sites. Once exposed, roots are identified by species, diameter and type (structural or fibrous), then photographed, measured and mapped. Our arborists collect detailed data on root distribution, health and architecture—allowing for accurate assessments of potential impacts from nearby development or early diagnosis of issues like decay or dieback.
As one of the only dedicated root investigation specialists operating in Munster, Heritage Tree Care Ltd. provides a unique and highly technical service to planners, developers and local authorities. All root analysis is conducted by qualified arborists and supported by detailed reports tailored to each site.
Root Investigation Reports
for Tree Health Analysis & Planning Compliance
At Heritage Tree Care Ltd., we carry out expert root investigation services using state-of-the-art AirSpade technology to expose and assess root systems with precision and care.
Whether for evaluating tree health—identifying signs of decay, fungal activity, or compromised stability—or to inform development decisions and planning applications, our non-invasive approach ensures accurate results without damaging vital root structures.
We are experienced project arborists on active construction sites and regularly support developers, engineers and planning authorities with detailed, site-specific root assessments. Our comprehensive reports are frequently submitted as part of planning applications and are used by local authorities to make informed decisions about whether development can proceed safely alongside existing trees.
All investigations and any necessary root pruning are carried out by qualified staff, in strict accordance with BS 5837:2012, BS 3998:2010, and international arboricultural standards. With our guidance, development can move forward responsibly—without compromising the long-term health and stability of retained trees.
