Before the survey
A site survey is most useful when access to all relevant areas of the property is available. Providing any existing knowledge of the property’s history helps the surveyor prioritise investigation.
During the survey
The surveyor will walk the property systematically, looking for invasive plant species and recording findings — confirming species identification, mapping the extent of any infestation, assessing proximity to structures and noting growth stage.
The survey report
A survey report typically includes confirmation of species present or absent, mapping of any infestation, assessment of risk or impact, and recommendations for management.
