Mandurah-based practical arboriculture.

Service area confirmed on enquiry.

Sorbus approach

Root barriers.

Discuss root barrier installation where tree roots interact with paving, structures or other parts of the site. Share photographs, the location of the tree and the affected area, and any available plans. The tree and site need to be considered before deciding where a barrier is appropriate.

Sorbus approach

Tree injections for pests and diseases.

Ask about tree injections when a pest or disease is affecting a tree. Include the species if known, the symptoms, when they appeared and any previous treatment. Assessment helps determine the cause and whether an injection is a suitable option.

Sorbus approach

Medicap installation.

Sorbus offers Medicap installation. Explain the concern about the tree and provide photographs of the canopy and affected foliage. Suitability and the treatment scope are discussed for the particular tree; installation is not assumed to be the answer to every case of poor health.

Sorbus approach

Soil improvement.

Ask about soil improvement around trees showing poor growth or experiencing difficult ground conditions. Describe drainage, compaction, recent works and changes to watering or the surrounding surface. The proposed work should respond to the site conditions and the needs of the tree.

Useful answers

Questions to ask
before the site visit.

Can I request treatment without knowing what is wrong with the tree?

Yes. Describe what you have noticed and send photographs. Assessment may be needed first to identify the cause and discuss a suitable treatment.

Will a root barrier fix every root-related problem?

Suitability depends on the tree, the roots, nearby structures and the site. Discuss the problem before selecting a treatment or arranging work around the roots.

What should I send for a treatment quote?

Include the suburb, number of trees, photographs, the symptoms or affected area, any known species, previous treatments and relevant plans. Scope, availability and cost are confirmed after the brief is understood.

Where are these services available?

Sorbus is based in Mandurah. Include your suburb when enquiring so availability, travel and site requirements can be confirmed.

Before the site visit

Make the brief clear.
