Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine if a tree needs to be removed?

Our default position is that trees are valuable assets that provide numerous benefits and should be retained whenever possible. Tree removal is typically a last resort, considered only when a tree poses a significant safety risk, is severely diseased beyond treatment, or is causing irreparable damage to property. Our certified arborists can conduct an initial briefing to assess the tree and explore all available options, prioritising tree retention and recommending removal when necessary.

What should I do if my tree is affected by pests?

Contact Tasmanian Tree Care for environmentally sensitive treatments like trunk injections to manage pests like the Elm Leaf Beetle. Often supporting tree health through soil amendments and mulch are enough to successfully deter pests and disease.

Can Tasmanian Tree Care help with tree preservation during construction?

Yes, they provide solutions like root barriers and air-spade excavations as well as implement tree protection plans.
