Dryad Tree Specialists is proud to partner with Karbon Homes to survey an extensive tree stock of between 10,000 and 20,000 trees across their housing sites in Newcastle and Middlesbrough. Until now, these trees had never been fully assessed, creating potential risks for pedestrian safety and raising liability concerns. Our role is to provide a comprehensive assessment to ensure residents and visitors could enjoy safer, greener environments.
Detailed Visual Tree Assessments (VTAs)
Our experienced team of surveyors will out Visual Tree Assessments (VTAs) across all sites. This “health check” approach allowed us to:
- Identify structural defects that could pose risks
- Detect signs of disease, decay, or decline
- Highlight potential hazards before they became urgent
- Create a clear, actionable management plan for long-term care
Actionable Management Plans
The data collected is used to create a comprehensive tree management plan. This plan is shared directly with Karbon Homes’ tree surgery contractors, providing clear and prioritised guidance for remedial works. By coordinating with contractors and on-site teams, we ensure:
- Efficient planning and scheduling of works
- Minimal disruption to residents and communities
- Improved safety and compliance across housing estates
Enhancing Community Spaces
Our work goes beyond risk management—it’s about improving the lives of residents. Proactive tree care helps to:
- Create greener, healthier spaces for relaxation and play
- Provide shade and natural beauty that enhances wellbeing
- Reduce the likelihood of costly emergency works
- Ensure long-term sustainability of the tree stock
A Partnership with Real Impact
This project highlights how Dryad Tree Specialists brings together technical skill, thoughtful planning, and genuine care for both people and the environment. By working closely with Karbon Homes, we will ensure that thousands of trees across Newcastle and Middlesbrough are now well managed, safer, and healthier—directly benefiting the communities who live alongside them.
