Tree Health & Disease Management
Diagnosis, treatment, and preventive care for sick or stressed trees. Our ISA-certified arborists can save mature trees other companies write off.
About Our Tree Health & Disease Management Service
A declining tree is not always a dead tree. Many trees that appear to be dying can be saved with correct diagnosis and timely treatment. Our arborists are trained in plant pathology, pest identification, and soil science. We use the latest diagnostic tools — including resistograph drilling, aerial inspection, and soil analysis — to pinpoint problems and develop effective treatment plans.

Visual & Diagnostic Assessment
We inspect canopy density, leaf colour and size, bark condition, root collar, and soil around the tree for signs of stress, disease, or pest activity.
Root Zone Investigation
Many tree health problems originate below ground — compaction, waterlogging, girdling roots, or construction damage. We probe and assess the root zone thoroughly.
Laboratory Testing (if needed)
Suspected fungal pathogens or unknown pest species can be submitted to specialist labs for definitive identification.
Treatment Plan & Implementation
Depending on diagnosis, treatment may include soil aeration, fertilisation, trunk injection, pest management, corrective pruning, or a combination.
Follow-Up Monitoring
We schedule follow-up visits to monitor response to treatment and adjust the programme as needed.
Tree Health & Disease Management FAQs
How do I know if my tree is sick or just dormant?
Timing matters — a deciduous tree with no leaves in winter is normal. A tree with sparse leaf growth in summer, dead branches, unusual discolouration, or fungal fruiting bodies at the base warrants urgent inspection.
Can you treat Myrtle Rust or Phytophthora in Melbourne?
Yes. We manage a range of fungal and oomycete diseases. Myrtle Rust and Phytophthora cinnamomi are common in Melbourne and can be managed with correct cultural and chemical interventions.
What are the signs of termite damage in trees?
Hollow sounds when tapping the trunk, exit holes, mud leads on bark, and sawdust-like frass at the base are all indicators. Termite activity in trees warrants immediate inspection.
