Tree health and pest assessments in the Hills District
A tree dropping leaves out of season, weeping sap, growing fungus at the base or losing branches from the top is telling you something. An assessment works out what, and whether it can be fixed.

An assessment covers the tree's health and structure, likely cause, and realistic options: treatment, pruning, monitoring or removal. Where a tree has become a hazard, you'll get that in writing for a council application or insurer.
We don't sell treatments we don't believe in. Many problems come down to soil, water and root space, and the honest answer is sometimes mulch and patience rather than a spray.

Questions about tree health and pest assessments
My gum tree is dropping a lot of leaves. Is it dying?
Not necessarily. Eucalypts shed leaves and bark seasonally and in dry spells. Sudden dieback at the top, fungus at the base or cracks in the trunk are the signs worth an assessment.
