How Much Does a Tree Survey Cost?

If you've been asked to arrange a tree survey, one of the first questions you'll probably ask is:

"How much does a tree survey cost?"

The answer depends on several factors, including the type of survey required, the size of the site, and the number of trees involved.

At Elite Ecology, our professional tree surveys start from £350, providing accurate, planning-ready reports carried out by experienced arboricultural consultants.

What Affects the Cost of a Tree Survey?

Several factors influence the cost of a tree survey.

Number of Trees

Surveying a small residential garden with a handful of trees will naturally cost less than assessing a large development site containing hundreds of trees.

Site Size

Larger sites require more time for inspection, data collection, and report preparation.

Survey Type

Different projects require different types of survey, including:

• BS5837 Tree Surveys

• Mortgage Tree Surveys

• Arboricultural Impact Assessments

• Tree Condition Surveys

Each requires varying levels of assessment and reporting.

Report Requirements

Planning applications often require detailed plans, Root Protection Area calculations, and CAD drawings, which can influence the overall cost.
