Like a new pet, new trees require special care during their first years - from planting through adolescence. Often, an early "Tree Care Maintenance Plan" will cost less, result in a more beautiful landscape, provide countless benefits and reduce costly risk hazards in the future.
Proper planting will help reduce many of the problems that Commercial Property Owners/Managers face in:
- Tree loss/replacement costs
- Costs of attempting to correct pest, disease issues
- Poor root health, the leading cause of tree disorders
Among the many issues found during the excavation of a declining tree's root zone are: Girdling roots that choke-out the tree's main trunk or other roots, broken/severed roots damaged during installation or construction (utilities) or other mechanical damage as well as fungus and other diseases.
If the first tree at top is planted "as is", it will probably end up like the following 2 pictures. Wouldn't you want to avoid this type of issue?

When a tree is properly pruned for structural integrity, it grows upright much more quickly than just "limbing up" (which causes foliage to grow like a shrub). It will be much stronger and able to resist wind/storms without breakage. Proper structure pruning is performed occasionally over a period of several years (usually 5-10). The amount of work is generally minimal, so the cost of having this done is very low. Pruning only 3-5 times over a period of 10 years is usually sufficient to create a strong, healthy, "finished" tree structure.Tree Medics has long-term plans available to fit your budget as well as short-term plans to help save existing trees.
Proper structure pruning will help reduce:
- The possibility of branch failure
- Pest/disease issues
- Improve clearance over drives/walkways
- Enhance visibility for signage/frontage.
Again, like a new pet, trees are subject to many life-threatening issues that can easily go undetected and result in added costs, for example:
- Loss of the tree
- Replacement
- Contribute to an unsightly landscape
- Damage to property
Establishing a Tree Care Management Plan with Tree Medics will help to ensure that recurring, problematic and expensive tree costs are minimized or avoided.
- Your property will have mature trees that are healthy and happy for many years to come
- Trees that will require very low maintenance and you will have very few, if any, problems
- Larger, well-structured trees have stronger branching, much wider shade canopy, lower potential for pests/diseases and will display your landscape as one of the premier properties around.
