Monitoring, Aftercare and Support

We will issue you with a site-specific aftercare programme, immediately following a tree transplant or relocation. This aftercare programme will provide comprehensive information on tree care and will support the subcontractor responsible for carrying out the ongoing maintenance. 

Our monitoring of the ongoing health of your tree(s) includes scheduled site visits and ongoing reporting to provide feedback on the status/progress of the tree(s) and any changes in site conditions or circumstances. These reports can contain actions and recommendations for the subcontractor to incorporate into the current programme.

In practical terms, we utilise our knowledge base and experience in transplanting, to identify Tree Performance Indicators (TPIs), as a part of our monitoring activity. Typically, TPIs might include its wound occlusion rates, leaf size, foliage colouration, new root extension and occupation rates and the return of typical seasonal growth patterns (phenology). In addition, TPIs also consider the ongoing performance of site conditions and maintenance activities including watering regimes, water quality, soil and nutrition status, mulching etc., that are the responsibility of the subcontractor engaged to deliver the aftercare.

Delivering our monitoring & aftercare support is integral to the provision of a free Tree Replacement Guarantee (Terms & Conditions apply). The duration of this guarantee can range from 3 months to 1 or more years, subject to client requirements.

The Arbor Centre is unique in its ability to provide a free Tree Replacement Guarantee, which is underpinned by our monitoring and aftercare offering. This allows us to provide expert tree care across the board and support clients with the continued health of their trees.

As part of our innovative TPI approach, we are able to utilise specialist technology which enables us to remotely monitor and report back on trees either in remote locations, or for trees of high value or historic significance. This technology is also deployed for periods of time at major construction locations where frequent disruptive activity is likely and therefore requires constant tree monitoring. This benefits our clients through enhanced levels of “risk protection” and “asset management” during project execution.

We take a long-term interest in the trees we supply, or are entrusted to monitor, and this extends beyond any guarantee period. Our primary objective is supporting the community and local environment with comprehensive tree services.

In this respect, we make ourselves available to be called upon to provide specialist support and interventions to manage your tree assets. This might include options such as the timely deconstruction of your tree stability installations or reviewing and refreshing aftercare programs every 3-5 years. Ultimately, we put the health of your tree first, by providing the highest level of expert tree care.
