As homeowners and property managers, we often keep a close eye on the health of our lawns, flowers, and vegetable gardens—but what about the trees and shrubs that anchor the entire landscape? These woody plants are living investments that quietly grow, age, and respond to their environment over many years. Yet, without proper attention, even the healthiest tree can decline or fail. That’s where we come in.
At TreeMedics, we specialize in preserving, not just removing. Our goal is to help your trees and shrubs thrive through organic, sustainable care and thoughtful, science-based pruning. One of the best ways we do this is through an tree & shrub inspection in Tualatin, Oregon of your landscape.
Here’s why having a TreeMedics arborist inspect your trees and shrubs once a year is a smart, proactive step:
1. Early Detection = Prevention
Trees don’t complain the way pets or people do. They quietly suffer when under stress, and often by the time obvious symptoms show up—like dead branches, cankers, or leaf loss—the problem has been brewing for years. An annual inspection helps catch subtle signs of:
Insect infestations
Fungal infections
Root problems
Structural weaknesses
Environmental stress (drought, compacted soil, poor drainage)
Identifying these issues early means we can often correct the problem organically and naturally, avoiding costly interventions—or removals—down the road.
2. Preserve Landscape Value & Safety
Healthy trees add beauty, shade, and value to your property—but unhealthy ones can do the opposite. An annual inspection allows us to monitor tree structure and stability, especially after storms or windy seasons. We look for:
Cracks or decay in limbs or trunks
Poor branch attachments
Overextended or overloaded limbs
Encroachment on structures or power lines
Corrective pruning or structural support can prevent storm damage and protect people, pets, and property—while keeping your trees looking their best.
3. Shrubs Need Love Too
Shrubs are often overlooked, but they play a vital role in framing your landscape and supporting pollinators and wildlife. Improper pruning or crowding can quickly lead to stress, decline, or pest problems. During your annual inspection, we assess:
Natural form and spacing
Nutrient deficiencies
Soil health and compaction
Pruning needs based on timing and species
We help restore balance so your shrubs don’t just survive—they flourish.
4. A Health Care Plan, Not Just a Checkup
Our inspections aren’t just about diagnosing problems—we create a customized health care plan for your trees and shrubs based on what we find. This might include:
Organic soil amendments
Seasonal pruning recommendations
Mulching strategies
Insect or disease management using natural products
Long-term monitoring plans for aging trees
With over 35 years of arboricultural experience, we bring both science and intuition to every visit.
5. Education You Can Grow With
At TreeMedics, we love to teach as we treat. During your inspection, we’ll walk your property with you (if you're available), pointing out concerns and explaining what we're seeing. We believe that an informed property owner is a tree’s best ally, and we’re here to help you make confident, informed decisions about your landscape.
