ARB Approved Contractor
We are pleased to share that Beechwood Trees and Landscapes Ltd has received full re-approval as an Arboricultural Association ARB Approved Contractor (ArbAC) following our latest reassessment.
For clients and partners, this re-approval is independent confirmation that our tree work, safety practice, and customer care continue to meet nationally recognised standards. Trees.org.uk
What is the ArbAC scheme, and why it matters
The ArbAC accreditation is run by the Arboricultural Association to raise standards across the profession. Contractors are assessed on the quality of their tree work, health and safety, professional standards, and good business and customer care practices, so customers are not just buying tree work, they are buying a verified level of professionalism. Trees.org.uk
For the public and procurement teams, this gives peace of mind that a contractor has passed a rigorous, professional assessment rather than self-certifying. Trees.org.uk
What the assessment looks at
During assessment and reassessment, ArbAC contractors are reviewed across four modules:
Work site safety inspection
Work quality inspections and arboricultural knowledge
Customer care and office procedures
Health and safety management and workplace inspection Trees.org.uk
The scheme also operates with regular oversight: contractors are audited annually and reassessed on site every other year, helping ensure standards are maintained, not just achieved once. Trees.org.uk
What this means for our clients
Choosing an ArbAC contractor means you are working with a business that demonstrates:
Competence in current arboricultural practice
Compliance with relevant legislation
Robust health and safety management
High levels of service through effective business management Trees.org.uk+1
In practical terms, it means safer sites, better documented work, and tree care delivered to recognised standards such as the British Standard for tree work (BS 3998) guidance. landingpage.bsigroup.com
Independent verification
You can verify ArbAC status any time via the Arboricultural Association’s Find a Professional directory of Approved Contractors. It is a simple way to check a contractor’s credentials before commissioning work. Trees.org.uk+1
