TREE HEALTH, PLANTING & SOIL


Healthy trees start from the ground up. Great tree care doesn’t begin at the canopy, it begins in the soil. From testing to treatment, planting to pest management, we take a whole-of-tree approach to keeping your urban forest thriving for the long term. Whether you’re a homeowner noticing signs of stress in a beloved tree, or an organisation investing in the future of your urban canopy, our AQF Level 8 and AQF Level 5 arborists are here to help.

Soil

Soil health & remediation.

Rich, fertile ground is all about balance. We’re attuned to the cues of compromised roots and can identify the minerals lacking in any given sample of earth. From testing to decompaction to reconditioning, our soil management plans are designed to ensure your trees receive the nutrients they need. This includes our signature Gold Dust and Liquid Gold formulas, developed in consultation with a soil microbiologist — because healthy soil means healthy trees.

Growth & planting.

Bring out the green in your blueprints. As our city grows and expands, so too should its urban forest. Integrating arborist expertise into your design process from the beginning demonstrates a commitment to maximising the long-term health of your trees.

Whether your plans involve new, established, or mature trees, we’ll work with you to develop a planting strategy aligned to your project’s goals and timeline. With consideration for environmental factors, special requirements, and aesthetic value, we support you in selecting, planting, and maintaining suitable species for your site. In some cases, installation may even require a period of accelerated growth off-site prior to relocation.

Pest & disease control.

Prevent potential loss with proactive management. Trees under stress are more susceptible to the negative impacts of pests and diseases. That’s why keeping your assets in good health is the best preventative measure.

If you notice anything unusual with your trees, sometimes it’s best to let nature take its course. Other times, intervention is required to get to the root of the problem and treat symptoms at the source. Rather than relying on chemicals to control an outbreak, we focus on addressing the root cause — developing a targeted plan to support your tree’s vitality, stabilisation, and soil health.
