Comprehensive Commercial Tree Services
Full Service for Your Business
We offer a full-service solution for every type of commercial tree service need.
Preventative Maintenance Program – Preventive tree care can prevent many problems from occurring in the first place, keeping your property looking its best and safe at all times. We will design a preventive maintenance schedule that fits your budget and meets your property’s needs. This will ensure our services are performed when needed and make it easier for you to plan and budget for them.
Risk Assessments and Hazardous Tree Removal – Identifying and removing hazardous trees prior to them causing an injury or damaging your property is a key part of managing your risk. Our certified arborists perform comprehensive risk assessments of your trees to identify potential hazards and will report their findings in a detailed written report. If we determine that a tree is hazardous, we will either remove the tree or take measures to make it safe.
Emergency Storm Damage Response – Inclement weather doesn’t follow a typical 9-to-5 schedule. Our emergency response team is available 24/7 and can respond quickly to your property to remove fallen trees, restore access to your property, and get your business back up and running as quickly as possible.
Specialized Parking Lot Tree Service – Trees located in parking lots require special care to avoid damaging vehicles, obstructing driver visibility, and to avoid creating tripping hazards from falling debris. We provide specialized services for parking lots, including clearance pruning, dead wood removal, and removal of problem species that create maintenance challenges.
Landscape Enhancement Project Work – Many landscape enhancement project plans include some form of tree work. We partner with Landscape Architects, General Contractors, and Property Managers to complete the tree portions of your project, whether it be selective removals or protecting specimen trees.
Utility Line Clearing – When trees grow into overhead power lines, they become a safety hazard and can disrupt electrical service. We utilize directional pruning methods to clear your trees away from power lines while maintaining the necessary distance to protect both the tree and the electrical infrastructure. When possible, we also work to preserve the tree’s natural shape and health.
Tree Planting Services – Planting the right tree in the right location eliminates potential future problems. Our certified arborists will help select the right tree for your site conditions and recommend proper placement and pruning to maintain the desired size and promote overall health. We also provide planting services that ensure the new trees receive the best chance of successful establishment.
Commercial Stump Grinding – Removing tree stumps creates liability issues and detracts from the aesthetics of your commercial property. Our commercial stump grinding services can remove stumps quickly and efficiently so you can immediately restore the area to its intended use, whether for parking, landscaping, or construction.
Commercial Benefits of Working with Us
Why Businesses Choose Our Services
Your commercial properties require a level of expertise that residential services do not provide. Our commercial services have the necessary professional abilities to meet your needs.
Reliability – Reliability is key to your operation’s success. We are committed to arriving on time for your scheduled appointments and completing the job promptly. If something comes up (it will), we will call you ahead of time to let you know. We don’t have a lot of downtime in between jobs. We work hard to get every job done on schedule. That means you can count on us. We understand your reputation is just as important as ours.
Flexibility – After Hours, Weekends, Holidays, etc. – As a business owner, you have other priorities besides getting your trees trimmed. We do too. That is why we provide flexible scheduling – evenings, weekends, holidays, etc. Many commercial properties need their trees trimmed at night – so that’s what we do. Just tell us when you want the job done, and we’ll make it happen.
Appearance and Professionalism – When our crew comes to trim your trees, we want them to look like they belong there. They will wear uniforms, keep their equipment clean, be courteous to your tenants/customers, and be efficient in their work so they won’t interrupt your business activities.
Insurance Protection – In addition to having substantial liability coverage and workers’ compensation insurance to protect your company from potential claims, we can also issue a certificate of insurance upon request to be added to your contract/lease.
Certifications and Licenses – All of the necessary business licenses and industry certifications, such as ISA Arborist Certifications, etc., are held by our employees and are available for review. We follow all local, state, and federal regulations regarding commercial tree trimming services.
Project Management – Large commercial property owners know how difficult it can be to manage large-scale commercial tree trimming projects. Coordinating people, equipment, and paperwork can be overwhelming. We have developed a comprehensive project management process to ensure that your project goes off without a hitch. From the initial proposal through the final inspection report, we will be with you every step of the way.
Multiple Location Service – Do you own several commercial properties throughout different areas? We can handle your entire portfolio with consistency in service standards at each location. We can also provide consolidated billing and reporting to simplify the administrative side of things.
Value Pricing – Budget Conscious Solutions – At the end of the day, you are responsible for making sure that your money is being used wisely. We agree with that philosophy and therefore provide proposals that offer options at varying price levels. This allows you to decide how much you are willing to spend, how much area you are willing to cover, and when you would like the job completed.
Preventive Approach – Our preventative approach, instead of waiting until you have to react to an emergency situation, by identifying potential problem areas early and addressing them; the cost of repairing or replacing something is significantly less than if you were to wait for the situation to turn into an emergency. This allows us to provide a proactive solution to your maintenance needs.
Risk Management and Liability Protection
Protecting Your Organization from Tree-Related Claims
The liability you take by owning trees on your commercial property can be huge. Using a professional to handle your tree care will help you manage that liability.
Tree Care Liability – Liability for tree-related injury or damage to property is on the property owner. It is becoming more common in courts for them to find property owners or managers liable for accidents that occurred as a result of their failure to maintain safe conditions around hazardous trees; documented evidence of a professional’s reasonable care will provide substantial proof to defend against liability claims.
Level Two Risk Assessments – Arborist personnel at our company perform level two tree risk assessments using established and widely accepted protocols in the arboriculture industry. Each tree will be evaluated based upon its structural condition, defective limbs and branches identified, potential impact locations, and assessed to determine a risk rating to assist in decision-making for the management of the tree.
Documenting Tree Conditions – In addition to documenting all tree conditions, recommendations for maintenance or treatments, and the services provided to create a record of reasonable care, we document all recommendations and services provided to support reasonable care. All of our reports are completed by an arborist who includes photographs, measurements, and recommendations to meet the requirements of legal defensibility.
Preventing Accidents – The best way to protect yourself from liability is to proactively mitigate hazards before they cause accidents. Prioritize those trees that are determined to have hazard characteristics for removal or mitigation, thereby removing the hazard before an accident occurs.
Working With Insurance Carriers – After a tree-related incident has occurred, we work closely with insurance carriers and adjusters to provide the necessary documentation to support claims and, if needed, expert testimony.
Storm Preparedness and Emergency Response
Preparing Trees For Storms Before The Storm Hits
Trees in the Pacific Northwest are frequently tested by storms that affect their health and structural strength. By taking proactive steps prior to a storm and providing a rapid response in an emergency situation, we can reduce both the amount of time a tree is down and the cost of repair.
Pre-Storm Maintenance – Proactively trimming or removing weak branches will help to decrease wind resistance on larger trees. This also provides an opportunity to address structural weaknesses and other potential issues before they become a problem due to the weather. A pre-storm maintenance program will significantly lower the possibility and severity of damage to trees.
Storm Watch Procedures – We will follow forecasted severe weather and provide our contractual clients with guidance and recommendations as it relates to preparing for the approaching storm. In addition, we have priority response lists to allow us to rapidly respond to areas where the most severe damage has occurred.
Emergency Response Capabilities – Our company provides 24-hour emergency services that include multiple crews, specialized equipment, and established procedures to rapidly deploy to areas affected by severe weather. Once the immediate life-safety concerns have been addressed, our focus shifts to restoring access, followed by the complete removal and cleanup of all storm-related debris.
Insurance Claims Assistance – We take photos of the damage and produce a detailed report to support our client’s claim for damages. Additionally, our staff is knowledgeable in tree care practices and can assist our clients in maximizing their insurance claim reimbursement while ensuring the proper removal of damaged trees and limbs.
Debris Removal – Large amounts of debris often result from large storm events. We have sufficient debris removal capacity and established relationships with recyclers to expedite the cleaning up of large debris quantities from your property so you may return to normal operation quickly.
