Commercial & HOA Tree Care

We start with a full inventory of the property, then build a multi-year maintenance plan from it and set that against a fixed annual scope. That gives the board something predictable to reserve against instead of a run of unbudgeted invoices arriving whenever something fails. Most contracts run one to three years, and the inventory carries straight over into the maintenance plan if you proceed.

Two reasons. Operationally it turns tree care from reactive to planned, which almost always means less total work over a five-year horizon. Legally, a documented inspection and maintenance record is the strongest evidence an association has that it exercised reasonable care, which matters enormously if a tree fails and injures somebody.

Ask any contractor bidding for association work for a certificate of insurance issued directly by their insurer, naming general liability and workers compensation, with your association or ownership entity added as an additional insured. Ask for it to be kept current for the life of the contract, and ask for it in writing. It is the single cheapest piece of due diligence a board can do.

Yes, and it is usually essential. We schedule around quiet hours, school runs, community events and retail trading hours, distribute advance notices, and stage parking closures so only a section is affected at a time. For commercial sites we regularly work early mornings or weekends to avoid disrupting trade.

Contract properties are prioritised ahead of one-off calls, which after a regional storm event is the main practical benefit of holding a contract. We assess the property, clear access and hazards first, provide the board with a documented damage report for insurance, and schedule the remaining cleanup.
