Your trees deserve and require as much care and attention as the rest of your garden and property. Trees should be health and safety inspected at least once per year, or after particularly stormy and windy weather.
Without a professional review you run the risk of potential damage from either falling branches or complete tree failure. The cost of damage caused by a fallen tree or branches can be extremely high, and could be easily avoided if your trees are well maintained.
If you are concerned about a tree on or near your property, Richard Gauld, Tree Specialist have the knowledge and experience to complete a tree safety inspection and, for example, locate damage, decay, die back or weakened areas within the tree structure and identify tree pests and diseases or fungi. Early recognition with advice can often lengthen the life of the tree and cost less in the long term.
These inspections can be detailed in written reports with the current health and safety of each tree and any recommended works to be carried out with timescale.
