Our founder, Tom Thompson, now heads the Digital Arboriculture Practice (DAP) working group which aims to find the best ways of using digital technology to showcase the importance of trees in urban environments. From tree reports, planning and design, through to construction and ongoing use, this is especially beneficial for arboricultural impact assessments which are closely related to proposed developments.

Our Vision


Arbor Cultural Ltd helps customers in the Richmond, Cobham, Southampton, Guildford and Cranleigh areas, and the surrounding counties, to manage their trees in a more sustainable way. We are passionate about promoting the benefits trees can offer, such as improving health and wellbeing, giving us cleaner air, and reducing the impact of flash flooding in extreme weather.

To promote the social, economic and intrinsic value of trees, we use various systems, and our company always keeps itself up to date with the latest industry developments. We use these frequently in day-to-day tree management and tree care.

Furthermore, we have been doing some public speaking and are happy to talk to interested groups about trees, and to improve people’s individual knowledge and understanding.
