Schools have a workplace health and safety responsibility to manage mature and potentially hazardous trees on school grounds to ensure the safety of students, staff, and visitors. Understanding the condition of your trees is the first step in managing risk.
Arboressence partners with schools and early learning centres to deliver practical arboricultural consultancy, professional tree care and grounds maintenance that enhance the value of trees while protecting people that enjoy them.

Q: Can you assess potentially hazardous trees?
Yes. Our qualified arborists undertake professional tree risk assessments and provide practical recommendations for ongoing management.
Q: How often should trees at a school be inspected?
As a general guide, most schools benefit from a formal tree risk assessment at least once a year, with more frequent checks after storms or other events that could affect tree condition. Schools have an ongoing duty of care under work health and safety obligations to manage tree risk, and regular assessment by a qualified arborist is the most reliable way to meet that responsibility.
Q: Is it safe to have large trees in schools?
Yes. With the right management, mature trees are valuable assets for schools, providing shade, cooling grounds in summer, and creating a more pleasant environment for students and staff.
Q: Can tree work be completed during school holidays?
Yes. Wherever possible, we work with schools to schedule maintenance on trees during holiday periods or quieter times to minimise disruption to students and staff.
Q: Do you provide ongoing maintenance programs?
Absolutely. We can develop a tailored maintenance schedule that helps keep your grounds safe, tidy and well maintained throughout the year.
Q: Can you help improve the health of existing trees?
Yes. Tree removal is not always the answer. Where appropriate, we recommend pruning, pest and disease management or other treatments that support long-term tree health and retention.
