At Nottingham Tree Surgeons, we love trees. We also know that trees sometimes need help to stay healthy. Trees are not just nice to look at—they give shade, provide homes for wildlife, and even help the air stay clean. But like all living things, trees can become unhealthy or even dangerous if they’re not looked after properly.
One of the most important things you can do is watch for early signs of tree problems. A healthy tree will usually have strong branches, lots of green leaves, and a solid trunk. But if your tree looks different than usual, it might be telling you something is wrong. For example, dead or falling branches could mean the tree isn’t getting enough food or water. Leaves turning yellow or brown when it’s not autumn may also mean the tree is unwell.
You should also check the trunk and the bark. Cracks, peeling bark, or fungi growing on the tree can be signs of disease or damage. If you see mushrooms at the base of the tree, it may mean the roots are rotting. Another warning sign is if the tree is leaning more than usual, especially if it’s near your house, fence, or garage. Leaning trees can be dangerous during storms and might need urgent attention.
Another big problem for trees is pests and diseases. Many tiny insects live in and around trees, and most are harmless. But some bugs, like beetles, caterpillars, or aphids, can damage trees by chewing leaves or boring into the bark. You might notice holes in the trunk, damaged leaves, or sticky sap coming from the tree. These are signs that something could be wrong inside the tree.
Diseases can spread from one tree to another, especially if they are close together. You might see black spots on the leaves, strange growths, or patches of dead wood. These are often signs of fungal infections or other tree illnesses. If you spot these problems, it’s best to act quickly. The longer a sick tree is left untreated, the worse the problem can get—and it could spread to other trees in your garden.
To keep your trees in the best condition, we recommend regular tree checks. This means having a professional look over your trees now and then to catch problems early. At Nottingham Tree Surgeons, we can visit your garden, check for signs of disease or damage, and give you advice on what to do next. Just like going to the doctor for a check-up, it’s much better to find a small problem before it becomes a big one.
Many people forget that what’s happening under the ground is just as important as what you can see. Tree roots are large and can grow far out from the trunk. Sometimes, they can cause problems for your home or garden by pushing up paving stones or cracking driveways. In some cases, tree roots even get into underground pipes and cause blockages. If your garden surface is uneven, or if water is draining slowly near a tree, the roots might be the cause.
Not every tree will cause root problems, and different trees have different kinds of root systems. If you're planning to plant new trees or already have large ones close to buildings, it’s a good idea to get expert advice. We can help you choose the right place for planting and check if your current trees are affecting your property in any way.
One of the most useful things you can do for your trees is regular pruning. Pruning means cutting certain branches to help the tree grow better and stay safe. It can stop branches from becoming too heavy, tangled, or weak. It also lets more sunlight and fresh air reach the inside of the tree, which helps keep it strong and healthy.
Pruning is also great for preventing storm damage. Trees with long, weak, or damaged branches are more likely to break in strong winds. These branches can fall and damage your house, car, shed, or garden fence. Worse, they could hurt someone. By cutting risky branches early, you can avoid problems during bad weather.
We usually recommend that trees be pruned every 1 to 3 years, depending on how fast they grow and what kind of tree they are. Some trees grow very quickly and need more regular trimming. Others only need light care now and then. We can take a look at your trees and tell you what would work best.
We know that tree care can feel confusing if you’re not sure what to look for. That’s why we always try to explain things in a way that’s easy to understand. We’re always happy to answer questions, give helpful advice, and offer free quotes so you know what the work will cost before we begin.
Looking after your trees is about more than just making them look nice. It’s about protecting your garden, your home, and your family. Healthy trees live longer, look better, and make your whole outdoor space more enjoyable.
If you’re worried about a tree in your garden, or if you just want to keep everything safe and looking tidy, we’re here for you. Whether it’s trimming, checking for disease, removing a tree, or grinding a stump, Nottingham Tree Surgeons can help.
Give us a call, and let’s talk about how we can help your trees—and your garden—stay safe, healthy, and beautiful all year round.
