There are many factors that need careful consideration when finding the best possible solution to your tree's needs. Some of the influencing factors that need to be considered when assessing a tree are the site context, the history and species of the tree, the tree's form, shape, aesthetics, health, and its environment.

It is also helpful for us to have an understanding of the client’s needs, the neighbours’ requests, the tree’s history, planning regulations and or local law guidelines, as these also influence how we give advice. A recommended course of action can be different for various species and site contexts.

Once we have gathered as much information about the trees in question, the needs / desires of the client, and have done a visual tree inspection, we can then make recommendations about a course of action. Advocating for the health of the trees and the safety of the occupants living near the trees are always our highest priorities. Meeting a client's needs and requests, can sometimes mean that tree removal and planting a new tree is an option that we present. We give reason to our recommendations, thus if a tree dies, then we recommend removal or creating a place of habitat.

Trees often need pruning from buildings, structures, service wires or from obscuring access or vision. Creating aesthetically balanced trees is a skill that takes time to develop. Growing your garden and creating spaces that are lush with both greenery and colour, that have a good balance of shade and sun, and that are safe for the family is a vision often shared in our community of clients.
