Tree Health & Diagnosis

Tree Health & Diagnosis in Redding

Canopy symptoms don't always identify the underlying problem.

How we diagnose tree problems

Look at the whole tree. Identify the likely cause.

01

Tell us what changed

We start with what you have noticed, when it began, and any recent changes in watering, construction, soil, or the surrounding landscape.

02

Inspect the tree and its surroundings

We examine the roots and root collar, trunk, major limbs, crown, soil, irrigation, drainage, and available growing space.

03

Recommend only what the findings support

The answer may be pruning, correcting irrigation or soil conditions, monitoring, or targeted treatment. If the cause is uncertain, we may recommend testing or additional observation before treating the tree.
