Marishal Thompson Group

Marishal Thompson Group are now working with multiple Local Authorities from Root Barrier installation to Tree Officer Support, to volume Tree Hazard Surveys and more. In over 16 years of trading we have gained significant insight into the varying requirements of Local Authorities in relation to tree and ecological issues. Below we provide a summary of our services in this sector:

Tree Officer Cover

We can provide short medium and long term solutions for tree officer resourcing issues. If you need to clear a back log of TPO applications, undertake a risk survey or review your TPO's then you may want to consider our cost effective professional support.

Tree Survey

We are currently undertaking multiple large scale tree surveys with Local Authorities. We can survey information digitally so it can be loaded directly on to your GIS. We can log your risk re-inspections in such a way that you will be proactively notified when areas/ trees require re-inspection. Our surveys can be tailor made to your requirements. We utilise GPS to ensure plotted trees are exactly where they should be.

Automated TPO Searches

Why spend your time and resources responding to emails, fax and telephone enquiries checking the status of trees? Some Local Authorities in the UK now have on-line facilities to check the status of trees. We can provide a simple cost effective solution. This can be considerably cheaper than you may think. We can help you make the financial case to your superior officers.

Asset Disposal

Your authority may be seeking to dispose areas for development. This can often lead to a situation where the Local Authority wants to outsource this element to demonstrate impartiality. We have national cover, a consistent approach and all at competitive prices.

TPO Resurveys

We can undertake an audit of your existing TPO's and help you adopt a system whereby you can show, to an auditable standard, how key landscape trees within existing TPO's were identified for inclusion within new TPO's. We can undertake the complete service from audit, to survey, to serving of TPO's.

Digital Mapping and Data Collection

Existing packages are often expensive, have yearly licensing fees and excessive, and often unused, functionality. Our bespoke systems can be delivered cheaply, with no annual license fee. Contact us now to discuss further how we can assist, and save your authority money.

Root Barriers

Please see our Root Barrier section of the website for further detail.

Difficult Sites

We appreciate that Local Authorities often have politically charged sites where they may require an impartial assessment. We can provide that in a cost effective way and to a high professional standard.

Individual Tree Assessments

We have Picus and other forms of recording the exact condition of trees at our disposal. Know the unknown by inviting us to provide this support service for your own tree stock. We can agree a standard charge, key performance indicators and outputs.

Expert Work

We can support claim liability defence. For further information see our Expert Services section.

Ecology

Please see our Ecology section for more on our services.

Tree Planting and Root Containment

Our Groundworks team can provide no obligation feasibility studies and costs for all your tree planting requirements. Whether it is 10,000 30cm whips, or 1 individual street tree we have national cover, and a service that reflects the very highest industry standards. Since 1994 Marishal Thompson have been responsible for the planting of over 2,000,000 broadleaf trees in the UK.
