About Canopy IQ
Intelligent Tree Solutions
Fusing 24 Years of Arboricultural Expertise with Modern Technology
At Canopy IQ, we believe that trees are vital assets to our landscapes and communities. For over two decades, our founder has been dedicated to understanding the intricate relationship between trees and the built environment. This deep-rooted expertise is the foundation of our consultancy.
We were established to offer a clearer, more intelligent approach to tree management, translating complex arboricultural challenges into straightforward, actionable solutions for homeowners, developers, architects, and landowners.
What We Do
Our core focus is providing two essential, specialist services. We deliver the clarity you need to manage your trees with confidence and meet your legal and planning obligations.
BS 5837 Surveys for Planning & Development
For architects, developers, and planners, we provide comprehensive BS 5837 surveys. These are essential for successfully integrating trees into design and construction projects, ensuring a smooth path through the planning process while retaining valuable tree assets.
Tree Condition & Safety Surveys
For homeowners, property managers, and landowners, we conduct thorough tree condition surveys. These assessments identify potential hazards, diagnose health issues, and provide clear recommendations to ensure the safety, health, and longevity of your trees, protecting both people and property.
The Canopy IQ Approach
Our commitment to you is built on core principles that define every project we undertake. We combine deep-rooted experience with modern methods to deliver a service you can trust.
Expertise Guided by Experience
Technology is a powerful tool, but true insight comes from experience. Our 24 years of hands-on arboricultural practice mean we can navigate complex situations, anticipate challenges, and provide practical, reliable advice grounded in industry best practices.
Precision Powered by Technology
We utilise the latest surveying equipment and AutoCAD software to ensure every assessment is meticulously accurate and efficient. This technology allows us to capture robust data and deliver professional, timely reports that respect your project's schedule.
Clarity in Communication
We believe technical information should be accessible, not a barrier. We specialise in creating reports that are comprehensive yet easy to understand, using clear language and visual aids to empower you to make confident, informed decisions.
Responsive, Personalised Service
As a focused, independent consultancy, we pride ourselves on delivering a highly responsive and personalised service. We prioritise direct communication, ensuring faster response times and advice tailored to your specific needs. Every project receives our full attention, providing focused support and genuine continuity from start to finish.
