2022 and back to work!

Trees in Dubai

It’s been a strange two years for all of us, with travel being difficult or impossible, for all the obvious reasons.  Whilst Covid has not gone away and we keep a wary eye on the Omicron variant, the world is more open now.

Good news, and it means I can travel again!  I am once again available to consult on trees and landscapes.  It requires a larger project with a fair number of trees (usually) for a visit to be viable.  Smaller projects or individual trees can then be consulted on when I have a visit booked.

So, hoping to visit in the early months of 2022… do contact me if you have a project to discuss!

Covid and travel restrictions

Due to the on-going Covid 19 pandemic I will not be travelling to the UAE (or anywhere) during the winter season of 2020/21.  I am available to carry out remote design or consultancy for certain things, although there are limits to what can be done in this way.

Trees are complex things, and don’t always give up their secrets easily, but when considering what needs to be done, there are tell-tale signs to look for.  I can often spot these remotely if provided with good quality pictures and video.

I can remotely advise on the design, selection and placement of trees and other landscape elements.

What is harder is working with contractors to ensure that they know how to prune correctly – most, unfortunately, do not and the majority of inquiries I get are on this subject.  In the past, I have worked to train contractors in the correct use of tools and pruning techniques, but this is only viable on larger projects.

I am happy to work with you remotely as far as is possible!  Please contact me by email, phone or WhatsApp to discuss your needs.
