If you’ve got a commercial property that features trees, you know that staying on top of the landscaping takes regular attention. Here are some tips to follow to help you save money on tree care.

Have Crowded Canopies Cleared Out

One of the hazards to the trees on your commercial property may come from exposure. If you have a long stretch of open ground between the trees on your property, high winds can sweep across the flat spaces and put older, more brittle trees at risk.

Breakage can leave your trees vulnerable to things like disease and fungi. Regular maintenance of your trees will save you the cost of treating these diseases and removing fungi later on. Get your tree canopies checked as soon as the leaves fall. Your arborist can help you schedule any necessary branch removal while all the branches are visible.

Plan Ahead to Budget for the Removal of Old Trees

Depending on when your commercial property was developed, you may have several trees that are all the same age. As trees age, they lose flexibility and may be at risk for breakage. Small branches high in the tree can snap, putting pressure on lower branches.

A good tree technician can give you a great deal of information about the trees on your property. They can point out which ones are vulnerable and remove them on a set schedule, rather than having to come out to your property in an emergency. A skilled arborist can provide you with yearly tree checks and regular maintenance to avoid costlier emergency tree trimming.

Best of all, your arborist can help you determine which trees need to be removed before you have to pay for an emergency removal. A knowledgeable tree professional can also help you plant new trees that offer shade, beautiful fall colors, early spring flowers, and other benefits to beautify your property.

Get Pests Taken Care Of

Diseased trees can quickly become a haven for pests. If all of the trees on your property are of the same species, these pests can quickly cause a great deal of damage and may put your property at risk.

Getting rid of hazardous insects can be quite costly once they set up residence in your trees. Regular maintenance and monitoring of your trees can lower this risk. If you see stinging insects, such as wasps or hornets, targeting one tree on your property, you need to get an arborist to look at the situation. These territorial insects will be back and may target your outbuildings, storage areas or warehouse. Once wasps and hornets are inside your property, you’ll need to pay an exterminator to get rid of them.
