Professional Tree Health Checks

Professional Tree Health Checks

Regular tree health checks can help identify problems before they become more serious or difficult to manage.

We inspect visible parts of the tree, looking for signs of disease, decay, damage, poor growth and structural weakness. The surrounding ground and condition of accessible roots can also provide useful information about overall tree health.

Our checks are suited to trees of different ages, sizes and species, helping property owners understand their condition and whether further attention, ongoing monitoring, maintenance or other tree work may be required. 

SAFE TREE CARE, DONE RIGHT


When Should a Tree Be Inspected? 

A tree should be inspected if you notice changes in its appearance, growth or stability. Warning signs can include dead branches, cracks, cavities, fungal growth, damaged bark, leaning or changes around the roots.

An inspection can also be useful after strong winds, storms or nearby building work that may have affected the tree.

Mature trees may benefit from periodic checks even when there are no obvious concerns, helping identify developing problems and allowing suitable action or continued monitoring to be considered when necessary. 

Our Tree Health Check Services

We provide tree health checks for a wide range of trees, whether there is a specific concern or you simply want to understand their current condition. Our services include checks for tree disease, decay, root problems, stability concerns and storm damage, along with health checks for mature trees. We carefully consider visible signs, previous damage and the tree’s surroundings, helping identify potential problems and determine whether continued monitoring, maintenance, further assessment or other tree work should be considered. 

Tree Disease Checks

Tree diseases can affect leaves, branches, bark and other parts of a tree, sometimes leading to a gradual decline in health.

We look for visible signs of disease, unusual growth, discolouration and changes in appearance, helping identify concerns that may require monitoring, management or further attention. 

Tree Decay Assessments

Decay can weaken parts of a tree and may not always be immediately obvious. We inspect accessible areas for signs such as cavities, damaged wood, fungal growth and deterioration.

Our assessment helps identify visible decay and determine whether the tree requires further monitoring, maintenance, management or other suitable action. 

Tree Root Inspections

Healthy roots are important for supporting a tree and providing the water and nutrients it needs.

We inspect accessible roots and surrounding ground for visible signs of damage, disturbance, decay or poor condition, helping identify issues that could affect the tree’s overall health, continued growth or stability. 

Tree Stability Checks 

Changes in a tree’s structure, roots or surrounding ground can sometimes affect its stability.

We check for visible signs such as leaning, movement, cracks, damaged roots and structural weakness. Where concerns are identified, we can explain whether continued monitoring, maintenance or further assessment may be appropriate for the tree. 

Storm Damage Assessments

Strong winds and severe weather can damage branches, trunks and roots, sometimes leaving problems that are not immediately clear. 

We assess storm-damaged trees for visible signs of breakage, splitting, movement and structural weakness, helping determine whether further tree work, additional assessment or continued monitoring may be required. 

Mature Tree Health Checks

Mature trees can develop health and structural concerns as they age, making regular checks particularly useful.

We inspect the tree for visible signs of disease, decay, damaged branches, poor growth and changes in stability, helping identify developing issues and determine whether further care, maintenance or continued monitoring is appropriate. 

 CLEAN, TIDY WORK EVERY TIME

How Often Should Trees Be Checked? 

How often a tree should be checked depends on its age, condition, location and previous problems.

Mature trees and those close to buildings, roads or frequently used areas may benefit from more regular inspections.

Checks can also be useful following severe weather, nearby work or noticeable changes in the tree. We can assess its current condition and advise whether further monitoring or future inspections should be considered. 


Monitoring Changes in Tree Condition

Monitoring Changes in Tree Condition

A tree’s condition can change gradually over time, so monitoring can be useful when an issue does not require immediate work.

Changes in leaf growth, branches, bark, roots, stability or surrounding ground may provide signs that the tree’s health is declining. Keeping track of visible changes can make it easier to identify developing concerns and decide whether further assessment is needed.

We can inspect trees where previous problems have been identified and compare their current condition with earlier observations, helping determine whether continued monitoring, maintenance, further assessment or other tree work should be considered.
