ARB Approved Contractor in Lancaster, Lancashire & the North West
What Is the ARB Approved Contractor Scheme?
The ARB Approved Contractor (ArbAC) Scheme is run by the Arboricultural Association, the leading professional body for tree surgery in the UK. Becoming an ArbAC is a mark of excellence, professionalism, and competence. It is widely recognised as the gold standard for arboricultural businesses.
To achieve this status, contractors undergo a comprehensive audit covering everything from:
- Tree work standards
- Staff training and qualifications
- Health and safety practices
- Environmental protection
- Customer service and business operations
It also means we are subject to regular reassessment – ensuring we don’t just meet standards once, but maintain them year after year
what it means for you
- Expert advice and workmanship from highly trained tree surgeons
- Safe and lawful operations, even on complex or high-risk jobs
- Environmentally responsible practices that respect wildlife and habitat
- A transparent and professional approach, from initial quote to job completion
- Full insurance and accountability through the Arboricultural Association
