The Importance of Regular Tree Health Inspections for Your Edmonton Property
Trees are so much more than just something beautiful to look at or something that provides you with delicious fruit. Your trees contribute to the air quality, give you shade in the summer to beat the heat, and are living organisms. We know trees aren’t people or your pets, but they do deserve the occasional wellness check to ensure that they are healthy and in the best condition possible. For the love of the trees, you should be getting a regular tree health inspection on your trees.
Trusty Tree Services has professional Edmonton arborists who are more than qualified to examine your tree and check for your tree’s overall health. If you want to ensure your tree will stand the test of time, homeowners are encouraged to get a tree health inspection. Not sure why or what the benefits are? Learn more below:
What is a Tree Health Inspection?
The biggest question on a lot of people’s minds is, “What is a tree health inspection?” The simple answer is that it assesses the condition of your trees. A certified arborist will look for signs of pest infestations or disease. They will also determine if there is any structural damage to the tree and ensure that the tree is healthy and on track to grow properly.
What are the Benefits of a Tree Health Inspection in Edmonton?
There are numerous benefits to having our certified arborists conduct a tree health assessment and inspection service. When you have us inspect your tree, you may be saving yourself from harmful damage to your home and from having a dead tree on your property.
Let’s explore some of the benefits:
Avoid Property Damage
The health of your tree is critical for protecting your property. A tree that is unhealthy and disease-ridden is not structurally sound. If you have a large one, you are running the risk of it toppling over and hitting power lines, which will impact the power to your community, or you can cause damage to your own home. The tree may fall over and not only wreak havoc on your roof but could damage your windows, gutters, and even the foundation of your home.
Getting a tree assessment to determine the health of a tree means that you can sleep a little easier knowing that a strong wind or storm won’t uproot the tree and put you, your family, and your home at risk.
Healthier Growth
A tree inspection for the overall health of your tree can actually contribute to its growth. Trusty Tree Services in Edmonton has some of the best arborists around who will recommend tree care that will help promote the growth of your tree. Our team will expertly examine your tree and determine the best way to prune it, if your tree needs more water and how to best water the tree, along with any fertilization recommendations, and if bracing or cabling will be necessary to ensure the safety of your trees.
The overall health of a tree is important, and sometimes, the best practice is just prioritizing the health and safety of the tree.
Protect Your Investment
A tree risk assessment will help you protect the money you’ve invested in your trees. If you have recently bought trees or have in the past, you know that they can be quite costly. Not only is the cost of the tree itself expensive, but you will also want to consider the cost of planting the tree and the physical effort required to maintain and nurture it.
Having a healthy tree is important to you, and ensuring that your hard-earned money hasn’t gone to waste is high on your list. Tree health inspection services cut out the guessing game of wondering what is happening with your tree and if it is continuing to thrive.
When Should I Get a Tree Health Inspection?
Tree health care should be done after severe weather has come through the area, if you start to notice changes to your tree that seem unusual, if your tree is close to your home or power lines, and as routine landscaping.
While there is no set timeline for a tree health inspection, it is recommended to conduct one at least once a year. Professional arborists such as ourselves know that your Edmonton trees deserve the best, and that is what we provide. Our care services will ensure not only the structural integrity of your tree but also assess if there are pests and diseases that threaten the tree or if the tree needs some extra care and attention to continue to grow and be as healthy as possible.
What Happens if My Tree is Not Healthy?
In this case, Trusty Tree Services can provide a wide range of tree services. If the tree doesn’t have a chance to recover due to disease or is already dying, we will recommend a tree removal service. In some cases, we can help prevent the spread of disease through pruning, and of course, if your tree needs a cable to prevent it from leaning and damaging your home or other surrounding buildings, that can always be provided.
If your tree is not healthy, upon completing our tree health inspection, we will provide you with the best possible options to remedy the situation.
