Vegetation Management Services

Overview

Our expert and fully qualified arborist teams ensure the lights are kept on and power operations are not obstructed by trees or overgrown vegetation.

Vegetation management is an essential process required to ensure electricity is supplied safely and efficiently to homes and businesses. We cover all aspects of vegetation management from maintenance work that can be carried out every two to three years to working through environmental weather conditions to ensure our clients’ supplies have minimal disruption.

Our approach

We put safety first and our approach follows strict guidelines to ensure the work carried out is completed to the highest standards.

We proactively maintain vegetation and help to prevent wildfires and trees from falling onto utility infrastructure. Our utility arborists hold specialist qualifications and fully meet the requirements of District Network Operators, industry bodies and are NPTC compliant.

All our utility arborists and surveyors are trained continuously to ensure our teams are fully informed on techniques and regulations in an ever-changing environment enabling them to be accurate in their reports, adaptable in the field and can carry out all aspects of vegetation management utilising their expertise, innovative approach and agility to resolve arboriculture challenges as they arise
