Elm Leaf Beetle Control

Mend Structural Damage

Bracing damaged trees to mend and preserve their integrity is an important speciality. Damage from storm and other accidents can be mended to give the tree at least another 40 years of life.

WHAT WE DO

Triangulated bracing of giant golden elm in Glenalta SA 2015. The structural integrity is now restored.

WHERE WE WORK

In order to give excellent consumer service, Guy treats trees across NSW and SA only. This includes:

• the Southern, Central and Northern Tablelands and the Blue Mountains in NSW.

• anywhere in South Australia where elms grow from Strathalbyn to the Claire Valley, the Barossa, Adelaide metro and as far east as Goyders Line

In the past 12 years of treating elms for elm leaf beetle and repairing structural damage with rod bracing, we have treated trees at over 2800 sites across the country.
