No-nonsense approach

I’m known for being straightforward and no-nonsense, so I’ll always discuss your requirements with you and advise on the appropriate level of consultancy you need before preparing a written, no obligation quotation.

You’ll get my honest opinion of the likely outcome when contentious issues are involved. After all, trees can be a very emotive subject.

Practical solutions

As well as my theoretical knowledge, I have extensive practical experience of tree care and management in a range of settings from large scale forestry operations to precise arboricultural techniques.

I offer practical, workable solutions to your tree-related issues, taking into consideration aesthetic, ecological, economic and emotive factors amongst others.

“Ben Bennett was an expert witness on a case where my client was struck by a falling tree branch. He provided me with an expert report which was very clear whilst being detailed and thorough. This case proceeded to trial where he gave excellent oral evidence. I would certainly recommend Ben Bennett to other parties who require an expert witness in the field of tree surgery.”
