The collaboration between an association board of directors, together complementary skills, knowledge, and experiences that are critical to tree care.
Trees are living assets which bring value to a community association when properly cared for by your Certified Arborist Hero. This will result in a well-balanced, aesthetically pleasing and sustainable outdoor environment. Trees can be large liabilities without professional service from accredited tree care companies with Certifies Arborists.
This integration of boardf of directors,f property
manager, landscaper and Certified Arborist Hero ensures that trees are not only a beautiful part of thef
and integrated into the lifestyle culture of thef community. Many studies have shown trees increase the value of homes.
Over the last 100-years we have seen devastation from Chestnut Blight, Dutch Elm Disease, and
landscape, but also healthy, safe,
Emerald Ash Borer killing trees. The diversity of trees in a community is critical. Having a tree inventory informs the board and management what species are on site, what diseases could be present, and what the possible future concerns are going to be. How many associations were not prepared for the arrival of Emeraldf
Ash Borer?
Is the association set financially, aesthetically, or for safety as trees failed due to Emerald Ash Borer? Your Certified Arborist Hero consulted, gave guidance, and provided options ahead of Emerald Ash Borer. Many years after the first wave of Emerald Ash Borer arrived, we havemany associations with Ash trees that were treated. We continue to be surprised how many associations did not know that treatments were an option for Emerald Ash Borer. As the association budgets reserves for driveways, roofs, sidewalks, and walls, the Certified Arborist Hero is helping with the tree reserve study. A property tree care plan with tree inventory is in essence a tree reserve study.
