Healthy trees are a valuable asset to your property — providing shade, beauty, privacy, and even increased property value. But without routine care and monitoring, even the strongest trees can become vulnerable to disease, pests, or structural failure. That’s why tree health inspections are so important, especially here in Bluffton, SC, where weather and soil conditions can change quickly.
At Kolcun Tree Care, our ISA-certified arborists offer expert tree health care services throughout Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, Savannah, and the surrounding Lowcountry. With over 20 years of experience, we understand how to keep your trees safe, beautiful, and thriving all year long.
Why Tree Health Inspections Matter
Tree issues often go unnoticed until it’s too late. Cracks, decay, or hidden pest infestations can weaken a tree’s structure over time, increasing the risk of falling limbs or total failure during storms. A professional inspection catches these problems early — saving you time, money, and potential damage.
Routine tree health inspections help:
- Identify signs of disease, decay, or pest activity
- Assess structural integrity and root stability
- Prevent dangerous situations that could require emergency tree removal
- Inform proper care plans, such as tree pruning, tree fertilization, or removal
- Extend the lifespan of valuable trees on your property
What’s Included in a Tree Health Inspection?
Our ISA-certified arborists conduct detailed evaluations using industry best practices. A typical tree health inspection includes:
Visual Assessment
We check the canopy, trunk, bark, and root flare for signs of disease, decay, and pest damage. We also evaluate branch structure and overall tree form.
Soil & Site Conditions
Healthy trees begin with healthy soil. We inspect soil compaction, drainage, and nutrient levels to determine if tree fertilization or soil amendment is needed.
Pest & Disease Detection
Insect activity and fungal infections often appear in subtle ways. We look for early warning signs and recommend targeted treatments to stop the spread. Learn more about tree disease and insect control.
Risk Evaluation
Is a tree leaning? Are branches overhanging your roof? We’ll identify any hazards and provide action steps — whether that’s tree trimming, structural pruning, or removal.
Care Recommendations
After the inspection, we deliver a customized care plan to address immediate concerns and maintain long-term tree health — from regular tree pruning to seasonal fertilization.
Benefits of Tree Fertilization for Bluffton Landscapes
Fertilization plays a crucial role in tree health, especially in the sandy soils of Bluffton and the Lowcountry. Our deep-root tree fertilization programs help build strong roots and defend against stress.
- Restores nutrients depleted from urban soil
