Tree inspection is a vital preventative measure that allows us to spot any changes or warning signs in your tree’s health before they escalate into serious issues. Our certified arborists perform detailed assessments, checking for pests, diseases, structural weaknesses, and environmental stresses. By detecting problems early, we can recommend timely treatments or maintenance actions, helping your trees stay strong, healthy, and safe for years to come.

A reduction in the extension of shoots (new growing parts), such as buds or new leaves, is a fairly reliable clue that the tree’s health has recently changed. To evaluate this factor, we compare the growth of the shoots over the past three years. We then determine whether there is a reduction in the tree’s typical growth pattern.

Further signs of poor tree health are trunk decay, crown dieback, or both. These symptoms often indicate problems that began several years before. Loose bark or deformed growths, such as trunk conks (mushrooms), are common signs of stem decay.

Any abnormalities found during these inspections, including insect activity and spotted, deformed, discolored, or dead leaves and twigs, are noted and watched closely. Depending on our findings our ISA Certified Arborist can then advise you on possible treatment options or remedial actions.
