Regular maintenance ensures continued health and preventing a problem costs less than curing one once it has developed, whatever the age of the tree.

the full answer...

A healthy tree increases in aesthetic value with age. Regular maintenance ensures continued health and vigour and preventing a problem costs less than curing one once it has developed. Regular tree inspections can prevent or reduce the severity of future disease, insect and environmental problems.

Our qualified arboricultural consultants will examine leaves or buds, leaf size, appearance, twig growth, and note the condition of the trunk and crown. Crown dieback (gradual death of the upper part of the tree) and trunk decay are often symptoms of well-established problems though, they can often be remedied with skilful tree surgery.
