Tree Selection, Planting and Establishment.
Planting a tree or a shrub may seem like a simple task, but ensuring its survival and growth requires careful planning and maintenance. The key factor is to choose the right species for the right location, taking into account the soil, climate, and space conditions.
Trees provide us with many ecological and psychological benefits, such as reducing heat stress, capturing carbon dioxide, intercepting rainfall, and improving our well-being.
I have the skills and knowledge to plant trees according to the best practices that ensure their establishment and health.
Tree Surveys.
Strom provides tree surveys for different purposes. Whether you need to comply with BS5837:2012 Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction, or you want to ensure your trees are safe and healthy, we can help. Our qualified arborists can assess your trees and advise you on how to reduce any risks they may pose.
I apply a practical approach to balance other aspects such as public access, biodiversity and amenity value. I collaborate with our clients to help them fulfil their duty of care towards public safety – reducing risks in the most cost-effective way.
If you’re worried about tree safety and the burden of liability, I can assist. The tree safety surveys and reports transfer the responsibility from you the tree owner to us the tree experts. And it doesn’t matter whether you have a single tree in a domestic garden or hundreds of trees on an estate or even entire tree populations for housing associations and local authorities – we’ll handle them all.
Tree Health Checks.
Trees are living organisms that can suffer from various health problems. There are many factors that can affect the health and appearance of a tree. Some of the signs that indicate a problem are: a decline in the growth or vigour of the tree, the presence of fungal structures such as mushrooms or brackets on the trunk or branches, or the appearance of discoloured or oozing patches on the bark.
These symptoms may be caused by various diseases, pests, environmental stresses, or mechanical injuries.
If you notice any of these symptoms on your tree, you should consult a professional arborist who can diagnose and treat the issue. Arborists have the knowledge and skills to identify and manage pests and diseases that can harm your trees.
