Well,its been another incredibly busy period for us, which is great.
We've completed a wide range of contracts for existing clients and some new ones.
We have a re-survey starting for one of our longstanding clients soon, and we're looking forward to working with them again # #

It's been a very busy couple of weeks. We're working our way through some very large sites, getting to survey some amazing old trees ☀️🙂 Though it's turned a tad chilly again, it's still been good to be out and about 👍🌳🌲🌳 #

Sunny surveys this week ☀️ We started some new sites, and we're continuing with existing ones.
As a small business, longer-term projects are very valuable as they provide consistency and allow us to plan well ahead.

A small selection of the many trees and sites we've visited over the last couple of weeks. I have to say, I'm very much enjoying this lovely weather 😎🙂☀️🌳🌲

Most of the time, Prunus pissardii are not the prettiest of trees. At this time of year though, when you look closely they are really quite striking 🌸🙂

As the temperature has dropped again, and the clouds are building. It's nice to find a vivid splash of colour. That said, it is always a treat to be on a site with such impressive trees and scenery! # # # #

I've not seen a big, old Sweet Chestnut like this for some time so it was great to find 2 of them yesterday!

This weather is great for surveying ☀️ Recently we've seen some very large tree failures but also noticed the small details 🍃 Add to that some more interesting site features and you have a good few days surveying 👍🙂

We're spending a lot of time in Nottingham at the moment. It makes quite a difference when the sun is shining and it's an added bonus to be able to appreciate some interesting architecture on a site #

Another busy week in Nottingham. One of our projects involves surveying a very large site that contains somewhere around 3000 trees. We've done 5 days there already and covered approximately ⅓ of it!! We're going to be a while longer on this one, but that's good because there are some amazing trees to see.

Another busy week out and about in Nottingham. We're currently working on two contracts in different areas of the city, so there's plenty to do!
