Dryad Tree Specialists is proud to be working with Herefordshire Council on a large-scale project to record and assess the county’s ash tree population, estimated to be at least 30,000 trees. With ash dieback continuing to impact trees across the UK, this project is a crucial step in managing the growing problem and ensuring public safety.
Comprehensive Ash Tree Surveying
Our team is responsible for recording the locations and condition of ash trees throughout the county. Each tree is assessed and categorised based on the level of infection, which informs the remedial plan needed to mitigate risks and manage tree health.
Key Aspects of the Survey
- Pinpointing the exact locations of ash trees across the county
- Assessing and categorising trees based on the severity of dieback
- Creating a strategic plan for tree management and safety
- Providing accurate data to guide future remedial works
A Dedicated Team on the Ground
We have deployed three specialist surveyors to conduct detailed assessments, ensuring that every affected tree is logged with precision. Our team is enjoying the challenge of this large-scale project and the opportunity to work closely with the council to protect Herefordshire’s landscapes.
Why Herefordshire Council Chose Dryad Tree Specialists
- Expertise in large-scale tree surveying and mapping
- In-depth knowledge of ash dieback and its management
- Efficient and accurate data collection for strategic planning
- Commitment to preserving and protecting tree populations
Taking Action Against Ash Dieback

For over five years, Dryad Tree Specialists has proudly supported Elmbridge Borough Council, delivering comprehensive arboricultural safety works across the borough.
This long-standing partnership reflects our commitment to keeping Elmbridge’s trees safe, healthy, and well managed. Many of these trees are located in busy public spaces, close to homes, roads, paths, parks, and community areas.
Protecting Busy Green Spaces
Elmbridge is home to beautiful green spaces, many of which sit within densely populated areas. That means tree work must be planned with care. Public safety matters. So does the look and feel of the landscape.
Our work helps the council maintain both.
- Tree safety works across parks, open spaces, and public areas
- Pruning to manage risk, clearance, and tree structure
- Removal of unsafe or declining trees where required
- Works planned to reduce disruption to residents and visitors
Balancing Safety, Beauty & Community Value
Good tree care is not just about removing risk. It is about protecting the value trees bring to everyday life.
Trees soften streets. They shade footpaths. They support wildlife. They make places feel calm, green, and alive. Our role is to help Elmbridge Borough Council protect these benefits while managing safety in a practical and responsible way.
| Project Focus | Dryad’s Approach | Community Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Public safety | Risk-led arboricultural works | Safer parks, paths, and public spaces |
| Tree health | Careful pruning and ongoing management | Stronger, longer-lasting trees |
| Landscape quality | Works planned with care and attention | Attractive green spaces for residents |
A Long-Standing Council Partnership
Our ongoing relationship with Elmbridge Borough Council is built on trust, reliability, and consistent delivery. Over the years, Dryad has helped maintain the safety and beauty of the borough’s green spaces while supporting the wellbeing of the people who use them.
It is work we care about deeply. Because when trees are managed well, everyone benefits.

Dryad Tree Specialists works with Guildford Borough Council to deliver efficient, effective, and safety-led arboricultural works across the borough.
This collaboration is built on a simple idea: tree work should be safe, well planned, and good value. By improving how works are organised and delivered, Dryad helps the council manage tree-related risk while keeping disruption low for residents, businesses, and the wider community.
Improving Efficiency Across Work Programmes
Arboricultural safety works often involve multiple sites, different tree issues, and varying levels of urgency. Without careful planning, this can lead to wasted time, repeated travel, and higher costs.
Dryad has worked with Guildford Borough Council to create a more streamlined approach, helping works move from instruction to completion with greater speed and clarity.
- Clear planning of arboricultural work packages
- Efficient allocation of teams, equipment, and resources
- Reduced downtime between sites
- Cost-effective delivery across multiple locations
- Consistent standards across council-managed tree works
Putting Community Engagement First
Tree works often take place close to homes, roads, footpaths, and public open spaces. That means communication matters. Nobody wants to find out about planned tree work when the saws start up outside the window.
Dryad places strong focus on community engagement, helping residents and interested parties understand what is happening, why the work is needed, and how it will be managed safely.
- Clear communication around planned works
- Consideration for residents, businesses, and public access
- Works planned to reduce disruption where possible
- Safe working zones established around active sites
A More Cost-Effective Service for the Council

| Project Focus | Dryad’s Approach | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Efficiency | Better planning and work package organisation | More work completed with less wasted time |
| Public safety | Safety-led arboricultural operations | Reduced risk across public spaces |
| Community engagement | Clear updates and considerate site management | Less disruption and better public understanding |

Dryad Tree Specialists supports Spelthorne Borough Council with the delivery of comprehensive arboricultural safety works across the borough. The focus is clear: help keep public spaces safe, attractive, and well managed for the people who use them every day.
Much of the work involves trees growing next to busy public footpaths, roads, and open spaces. These trees are a key part of the local landscape, but when defects or decay appear, they need prompt and careful attention.
Managing Tree Risk in Busy Public Areas
Tree safety works in public settings need a balanced approach. The aim is to reduce risk while preserving the value, shape, and character of the tree wherever possible.
- Tree safety works beside public paths and highways
- Pruning to reduce risk from defective or overextended branches
- Removal of unsafe trees where retention is no longer suitable
- Works planned to protect residents, pedestrians, and road users
Protecting People While Preserving Place
Spelthorne’s trees help shape the look and feel of the borough. They give shade, soften streets, support wildlife, and make public spaces feel more welcoming. So our work is not about cutting for the sake of cutting.
It is about smart tree care. The kind that keeps people safe while protecting the beauty and value of the landscape.
| Project Focus | Dryad’s Approach | Community Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Public safety | Risk-led arboricultural works near paths and roads | Safer routes for residents and visitors |
| Tree health | Careful pruning and defect management | Longer-lasting, better-managed trees |
| Public spaces | Works planned to reduce disruption | Cleaner, safer, more usable outdoor areas |
