First impressions matter—and your trees are the first thing tenants, clients, and homeowners see. Whether you manage an HOA, retail center, apartment complex, or office park, the health and safety of your landscape says everything about your standards.
So, is your tree care plan protecting your property—or putting it at risk?
The Hidden Costs of Neglected Trees
Poor tree maintenance doesn’t just look bad—it costs more over time. Neglected trees are prone to:
Diseases and pest infestations (like aphids, borers, or fungal blights)
Falling limbs and root damage
Storm-related hazards and insurance claims
Lower property values and tenant dissatisfaction
A single emergency removal or injury claim can cost thousands. Proactive care is not only safer—it’s more cost-effective.
💡 According to the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), proactive tree care reduces long-term landscape costs by up to 30%.
What a Professional Tree Care Plan Should Include
For HOAs and commercial properties, tree care should go beyond seasonal trimming. Here’s what our ISA-Certified Arborists recommend:
1. Annual Tree Health Assessments
A licensed arborist will inspect for pests, diseases, deadwood, root damage, and structural issues. Early detection means easier (and cheaper) fixes.
2. Safety Pruning & Clearance
Overgrown limbs near buildings, sidewalks, or parking lots are a liability. Our team ensures your trees are code-compliant and storm-ready.
3. Fertilization & Soil Care
Urban soils are often compacted and nutrient-poor. We build root health with deep-root fertilization and bio-stimulants customized for your site.
4. Pest & Disease Management
From spotted lanternflies to powdery mildew, we monitor and treat infestations before they spread—and tailor solutions for HOA budgets.
5. Long-Term Tree Planning
We help you map out a plan for removals, replacements, and preserving mature trees—so your landscape looks great year after year.
