Trusted arboricultural advice across the public and private sectors

​

For more than 20 years, Xylem has supported councils, developers, builders, consultants, utilities and infrastructure organisations with practical arboricultural advice.

Clients engage us for individual site assessments, complex technical investigations and large-scale tree-management programs. Our team can provide support from early planning and design through construction, compliance and ongoing asset management.

​

Councils and government

Xylem works with local government teams responsible for urban forests, parks, planning, infrastructure and community assets.

Our experience includes municipal tree surveys, risk and condition assessments, proactive inspection programs, tree-management frameworks, development advice, tree-health investigations and urban forest planning.

We understand the importance of consistent assessment, reliable asset data and clearly documented recommendations. Our work helps councils prioritise resources, manage risk and make defensible decisions about public trees.

 

Development and construction

We support developers, builders, architects, engineers and project managers across residential, commercial and civil development projects.

Our involvement can begin with a preliminary tree assessment and continue through planning, design, construction and final compliance. Services include Arboricultural Impact Assessments, Tree Protection Plans, root investigations, design advice and project arborist support.

By identifying tree constraints early and remaining involved during delivery, we help project teams develop practical responses and manage tree-related issues as they arise.

 

Infrastructure and utilities

Xylem provides arboricultural and vegetation-management advice for electricity networks, roads, drainage, transport corridors and public infrastructure.

Our team assists with vegetation surveys, risk assessments, project impacts, works prioritisation, contractor auditing, specialist investigations and GIS data. We also help clients test alternative approaches to recurring vegetation conflicts through controlled trials and monitoring programs.

​

How we work

We take the time to understand the project, the decisions our advice must support and how the recommendations will be implemented.

Our clients value our ability to combine technical arboricultural knowledge with practical project experience. Whether the work involves one significant tree or thousands of public assets, we aim to provide clear communication, consistent delivery and advice that can be acted upon.
