Record the starting point
Record the tree’s condition, its surroundings, and the concern. Agree which changes would need attention.
Monitoring / Keep track of change
See what changes. Know when to act.
One inspection gives you a starting point. Repeat checks help you see which changes pass and which need a closer look.
Observe · Interpret · Respond
Track change.
Plan the next step.
Track water movement, trunk size, soil conditions, and the canopy. Together, these measurements help explain how the tree is changing.
How monitoring works
Measure.
Review. Respond.
We agree what to measure, when to review the results, and which changes need a follow-up visit.
Choose what to measure
Choose sensors, field checks, or canopy images that answer the question. Agree how often to take measurements.
Review the results
Compare the results with earlier readings, weather, and care records. Consider the tree species and season.
Decide what comes next
Explain changes that need attention. Recommend care or further checks, and keep a record of what was done.
An arborist reviews the resultsMonitoring can show changes that need attention. It does not replace a site inspection or predict when a tree will fail.
