Tree Health - Tree Surgeons of Luton

Just like humans require regular health check-ups, so do trees. Even the healthiest trees may require a visit from arborists/surgeons to assess them from time to time. Your trees are safe if they have regular check-ups from qualified tree specialists. Ensuring that the tree assessment check is done by a professional arboriculturist is the right way. We offer tree health check services at affordable costs. Tree health assessments help to diagnose, treat and prevent diseases and pest damage. Our company’s arborists use sophisticated and appropriate diagnostic tools for this health check. They can take samples for further analysis to a laboratory, with the test results helping to determine the required problem and solution.

When detected and diagnosed early, tree diseases are usually treatable. Our arborists will visit the tree, carry out the health check and advise on the necessary measures to be taken. These may range from different procedures or services to maintenance to the tree. We offer specialised solutions and treatment depending on the needs of the tree. Trees need regular health checks:

• To improve their longevity and health.
• To detect early problems and take the appropriate measures.
• To prevent liability if the tree in future may cause damage to another’s property.
• To avoid future costs and hence save time and money.
• To prevent accidents and safety of property.

To check the health of a tree an arborist requires vast expertise and knowledge. A healthy tree can be differentiated from an unhealthy tree most accurately by visiting the tree and site to see and examine the tree first-hand. Our arborists are experienced in assessment services and can always help.  For assessment purposes, they check the following parts:

• Roots of the tree - this is to detect any decay and soft spots.
• The crown - check for any broken, dead, rotting branches, no new leaf sprouting, and limbs with missing bark.  The tree may need treatment if any of the above are found.
•  The trunk - to check for cracks, swelling, cavities and holes.
• The leaves - unusual colour, size, shape (although this could be related to the season and unusual weather patterns). Holes in the leaf may be a bad indicator.
• The bark - should be firm and not easily peeled off, broken, have cracks, and falling off.

​After checking these vital elements an arborist can recommend the best way to treat the tree. If a tree’s health is declining and it can’t be saved, it could be better to fell or replace it so as to minimise future costs. If you have any concerns about the health of your tree don’t wait until it’s too late. Early treatment of the tree can still rejenuvate its health. Our tree care professionals can help you take care of your trees and leave them in good shape. Remember, when trees are kept healthy they can add great benefits to your property and the environment.  We prefer to retain trees if we can.  We guarantee to be with you in every step of the way to achieve this goal.
