Detect and locate decay in your trees before it’s too late.


Like an MRI scan for your tree to ensure you have full visibility.

Sonic tomography is a technique to quantify decay and produce two or three-dimensional images of the internal wood structure for any above-ground part of the tree.

While most techniques are either visual or have to be sent off for evaluation, sonic tomography is non-invasive and done on-site. It is often requested by council as an additional data point to assess permit applications for significant trees.

It’s like an MRI scan for your tree.

With a sonic tomography report you will be able to:

Detect the accurate condition of your tree

Get quantifiable evidence on possible decay that that is more accurate than visual inspection.

Understand your tree risks

With a sonic tomography report you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of how your tree structure is affected.

Make informed decision and save significant trees

Many trees could have been retained with the right information but were condemned through visual inspection only.
