Certified Arborist for Tree Inspections
When was the last time you had an Arborist for a tree inspection or consultation to assess the overall health of your landscape? If it’s been a while, now may be the best time to have our professional Certified Arborist examine your property.
As Plant Health Care Specialists, our Tree Doctors effectively serve homeowners throughout Delaware County, Chester County, and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, as well as Northern Delaware. We will examine your trees and shrubs to assess their health and overall condition and identify how we can offer solutions to their problems.
Residential Tree Inspection Services and Consultations
At Rick’s Certified Arborists, we offer two distinct services to help you protect the health of your trees and shrubs: inspections and consultations.
A tree inspection is a free service that we offer to clients who call us with particular concerns for a specific tree, usually related to pest control, disease management, or deer damage.
A consultation is a paid service that includes a 30-minute property assessment and comes with a typed report detailing the health of your trees and any recommended treatments. The charge can be applied to the cost of the service should you choose to proceed.
Regular Residential Tree Inspections
The best times of the year for initial tree inspection services are in the spring and fall. As we become familiar with your property, we can identify common problems with key plants in your landscape and schedule additional visits if necessary. Prevention and suppression of pests and diseases will typically always offer the best results, and regular tree inspections are key to managing the trees and shrubs on your property.
Why Hire a Certified Arborist vs. a Tree Service?
Often confused, Arborists are a world apart from tree trimmers or landscapers. Many tree service companies can remove your dead or fallen trees, but the majority lack the proper education AND certification that enables a qualified Arborist to preserve and protect your landscape over the long haul.
The major difference is that Certified Arborists must meet strict standards and participate in ongoing continuing education to stay up-to-date on the latest science in tree care and insect and disease management. They can evaluate the condition of trees and then provide the best tree management plan in order to minimize risks and keep them healthy.
When to Schedule a Tree Health Consultation
Severe storms, heavy snowfall, long periods of drought, and other extreme weather can create a variety of tree problems. These conditions can inflict significant stress on trees, which can cause structural problems and even make them more susceptible to disease.
We can conduct a careful examination to identify any damage to the tree’s structure, including broken branches or compromised roots, which may not be immediately apparent. This proactive step helps protect your property and the tree’s health by addressing issues early on, reducing the likelihood of further damage, and helping the tree’s recovery.

Discolored Bark
Spotting noticeably discolored bark on a tree warrants immediate attention and a call to a certified arborist. Bark discoloration can be a telltale sign of underlying tree health issues, such as pest infestations or tree infections. Through a tree inspection, we can identify the cause of the discoloration before it worsens.
Early detection and diagnosis allow for timely intervention that can potentially save the tree and prevent the spread of problems to nearby plants. Moreover, we’ll recommend a proper watering routine or adjustments to the tree’s previous watering habits.
Fungal Growth
Fungus growing on a tree is a clear indicator that you should schedule an inspection and health assessment. Fungal growth is often a sign of decay that can lead to the fall of branches or the entire tree.
Rick’s Certified Arborists can assess the extent of fungal involvement and suggest the best course of action to mitigate the spread of decay. This might include removing dead wood or treating the tree to halt further degradation.
Soil Changes and Disturbances
Planning a tree inspection is a good idea when soil work has been done nearby. Soil disturbances can affect a tree’s roots, which are crucial for nutrient uptake and stability. We’ll examine the soil and tree roots for any signs of damage or stress following the work.
Based on our findings, we can suggest a solution to promote better soil health. With the help of one of our careful examinations, we’ll ensure that your tree remains a healthy and stable feature on your property.
Every Few Years
Regular checkups and routine inspections are key to maintaining the health and longevity of your trees. In general, it’s best to have trees inspected by our Certified Arborists at least once every three years. However, a tree species that is more susceptible to pests or diseases or one that has previously shown signs of health issues may require more frequent assessments.
Regular inspections help you spot a damaged tree early on, which allows for timely intervention. These routine assessments are an integral part of comprehensive tree care, ensuring that your trees remain vibrant and structurally sound, adding beauty and value to your property.
