SERVICES

Studies show that for every dollar spent on tree management, residents receive $4.56 in benefits. Roberts Consulting provides expert advice and opinion on urban trees.

Consents and Working Around Trees

Trees are not static items – sometimes they need to be pruned and sometimes they need to be removed. Removing a tree may require resource consent, pruning a ‘listed’ tree will. Having us manage your resource consent could save you time and money.

Risk Assessment

The actual risk posed by trees is often dwarfed by the perception of risk. Using internationally recognised techniques, Roberts Consulting can qualify your tree risk and enable you to make informed decisions.

Court Proceedings

For your expert witnesses needs, be it producing written statements or providing affidavit evidence call upon our experience

Specifications and Auditing

Trees can be high value assets that need to be maintained accordingly. Roberts Consulting provide written specifications, independent auditing, and quality assurance services for all aspects of tree work.

Management Plans

Trees are not static items – tree assets need to be managed, a little bit of planning can save a lot of time and money in the future.

Monitoring and More

A large proportion of a tree is underground (roots can extend out from the tree further than the tree is tall). Damaging the roots can make a tree unstable and trigger its decline – if the tree fails because of root cutting it may not be considered an accident
