When our team members provide tree health assessments, we look at all aspects of each tree, including its limbs, trunk, and leaves.
A tree can’t tell you when it’s not feeling well or dealing with a disease. Unfortunately, it’s often hard to see evidence of a health issue until it has spread significantly or is causing major damage. At WillowStone, we know what to look for when performing tree health assessments, so we can easily evaluate how your landscaping is doing. Beyond the risk of disease, a tree can also suffer problems if it’s improperly shaped or pruned. Regular assessments are your best line of defence against costly problems that can threaten your safety and impact the visual appeal of your outdoor space.
When our team members provide tree health assessments, we look at all aspects of each tree, including its limbs, trunk, and leaves. Some diseases can spread through multiple trees, so we’ll address any issues that may be present across your yard. Additionally, our assessment process involves analyzing the surrounding environment to determine whether the conditions are ideal. If we find that a tree isn’t receiving what it needs in terms of the nutrition or space requirements, we can talk to you about options and address these concerns to maintain the health of each tree on your property.

Hidden
How often should tree health assessments be performed?
We recommend annual or semi-annual tree health assessments, especially for large or newly planted trees. Frequent check-ups help ensure any structural issues, pests, or signs of disease are caught early enough to make adjustments or resolve the issue before more damage can be done.
What kinds of things do arborists look for during tree health assessments?
We look for signs of structural issues, such as leaning, swelling, broken branches, or cracks and splits in a tree. We also look for signs of pests or disease. Patchy bark, dark spots or lesions on leaves, swollen galls, and wilted or brown leaves are some signs that indicate disease, for example.
What soil conditions impact tree health?
The nutrient levels, pH levels, moisture levels, and soil compaction can impact tree health. We have the tools and skills required to measure these and inspect the soil on your site to determine whether any changes are needed for the sake of your trees.
What kinds of pests do you deal with?
One of the main pests we address is the emerald ash borer, which damages ash trees by burrowing into them, hence the name. We can also address bronze birch borer issues.
