Avoid Choosing the Wrong Arborist: Essential Guidelines for Your Business

At Finch, we know that effective tree management is crucial for your business's safety, regulatory compliance and sustainability. Our expert guide will help you make informed decisions, minimise disruption and protect your investment.

Why Quality Tree Care Matters for Your Business

Tree care goes beyond pruning—it's a skilled practice requiring expertise in safety, sustainability and aesthetics. Poor tree care can lead to serious consequences for your business:

• Safety Hazards: Dead or poorly maintained trees pose significant risks to staff, clients and the public, potentially leading to injuries on-site, liability claims and costly legal action against your business.

• Property Damage: Falling branches or unstable trees can cause extensive damage to buildings, vehicles and infrastructure, disrupting business operations and incurring repair costs that impact your bottom line.

• Regulatory and Compliance Risks: Overgrown or low-hanging branches can block access for emergency services and lead to non-compliance with highways regulations. Insurance policies may also refuse to pay out if proper tree maintenance is not demonstrated.

At Finch, we specialise in tree care solutions tailored to businesses, ensuring safety, efficiency and environmental responsibility.

How to Choose the Right Arborist for Your Business

Choosing the right arborist is essential to protect your business. Look for these key qualities:

1. Comprehensive Insurance: Ensure the arborists have £5 million+ in Employers and Public Liability coverage. At Finch, we carry £10 million.

2. Industry Standards Compliance: Arborists should follow British Standard BS3998:2010 – Tree Work Recommendations.

3. Proven Qualifications: Look for NPTC/Lantra Awards/Diplomas, ensuring chainsaw and tree management expertise.

4. Transparent Quotations: Detailed, written quotes outlining costs, scope and terms.

5. Industry Recognition: Membership with the Arboricultural Association (AA) reflects commitment to high standards and sustainability.

Key Factors in Reviewing Tree Care Quotations

When reviewing quotes, ensure they cover:

• BS3998:2010 Compliance for safe, environmentally responsible work

• Waste management to minimise disruptions and maintain cleanliness

• Risk assessments to ensure safety and regulatory adherence
