 Why is it so important to be Arboricultural Association approved? Each Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor is required to identify a principal or manager who is responsible to the Association for the company's standards. The standard required by the Association is very high and Approved Contractors are subject to reassessments at regular intervals to ensure that standards are maintained. The standards themselves are regularly reviewed to ensure that they reflect contemporary arboricultural research findings, legislative and health and safety requirements, business practices and customer expectations. The Arboricultural Association expects very high standards which restrict the number of successful applicants. The companies listed have been approved by the Council of the Association as complying with, and practicing to, the standard required by the Association. The companies have been examined for safe working practices and technical competence consistent with British Standard 3998: Recommendations for Tree Work, 1989.
