Well-manicured trees are an asset to any property, whether it be condos, office buildings, or combined commercial and residential spaces. Trees add curb appeal and a community feeling which makes it more profitable in the long run. As a property manager, you may be wondering where to start when it comes to adding this valuable asset to your property. We have broken down the top reasons for Property Managers to work with Arborists when adding trees to your property.
Assess Your Property
When beginning research into the best trees to plant on your property, a certified Arborist will be your most valuable resource. They will be able to help you assess your property and choose trees that will thrive in the property’s climate, soil quality, and size. By selecting the right trees, your upkeep and maintenance will be easier in the long run. Additionally, by working with Arborists from the get-go, Property Managers are more likely to see all the perks of having trees on your property, including increased sustainability and an enhanced reputation in the community.
Schedule Your Tree Maintenance
When trees are maintained regularly by professional Arborists, they are more likely to withstand storms and have a reduced risk of succumbing to disease or pests. Scheduling regular maintenance ensures the safety of those using your property by minimizing the risk of weak or diseased trees. While you can prune your trees anytime, by pruning in the late fall, you will see the most benefits, as it falls within the tree’s natural dormant cycle.
Using Arborists also ensures that any landscapers conducting work on your property will not take it upon themselves to prune your trees. If a landscaper has not been trained in proper pruning practices, they could cause unintentional damage to your trees, threatening the trees health. With regular care from a certified Arborist, you can ensure your trees remain healthy and beautiful from spring to fall, adding significant value to your property.
Reduce Your Risk
In Ontario, we are subject to long hard winters and storms that can hit at any time. Trees that are not planted properly or well maintained are at a higher risk of becoming sick or injured. An injured tree is a weak tree, and this increases their chance of having large branches break during a storm or worse, fall completely. By choosing trees that are well suited to your area and maintaining them regularly, you will reduce the risk of trees becoming a liability on your property, saving you money and hassle in the long run.
If an unexpected disaster does strike, working with a certified Arborist ensures the problem is taken care of properly. They will work to remove debris and ensure your tree is secured to minimize any future damage. Advanced Tree Care offers 24/7 emergency support, allowing your tenants to feel safe and secure in the event of a downed tree.
See the Value in Your Trees
Working with a certified Arborist is the best way to get the most value out of the trees on your property. When taken care of properly, trees are an asset that your tenants and your community will appreciate. By working with professionals, you can be confident in the quality and maintenance of the care you and your trees will receive. Already have trees but looking to contract the ATC team?
