How Commercial Tree Care Can Save Your Business Money
Poorly maintained trees on commercial property can create significant liability issues, have a negative aesthetic impact, and incur costs due to damage from fallen branches and other issues. Landscaping and tree care do not stop once trees are planted. Regular maintenance can keep trees healthier, safer, and more attractive.
By skipping regular tree care, you could lose money in several ways. Find out more about how hiring commercial tree care professionals can be cost-effective for your business.
Environmental Safety and Liability
Trees located on a commercial property need professional trimming and maintenance to avoid liability for damage to commercial buildings and surrounding structures from fallen branches. During the rainy season of Vallejo, CA, tree branches can fall due to heavy winds. They can also fall due to insect damage or a diseased tree. Unpruned, low-hanging tree branches can also create liability by blocking walkways and creating a hazard for pedestrians.
Tree branches can block the line of sight for drivers on the property and cause collisions with hidden tree trunks. Unmaintained edges of hardscapes, such as curbs and parking lot edges, can cause vehicles to run off driveways and roads. As tree roots grow, they can invade and displace concrete, bricks, and pavers, causing uneven surfaces that endanger pedestrians.
Attract More Business Patrons
Keeping your commercial property attractive and well-maintained in the bay area could save you money on your advertising and marketing budget. The exterior appeal of your business can affect whether potential customers and clients choose to walk in the door. You can reduce the cost of tree care by performing maintenance on a quarterly or annual basis to trim small branches.
The expense is less than you would likely spend repairing damage to your building from rats or termites that live in dead trees or from removing a large tree that has overgrown and is causing other problems. Commercial tree service includes managing the health of your trees, regular pruning of trees and shrubs, and mulching to keep your trees and other plants healthy.
Increase Property Values
A beautifully landscaped Vallejo, CA commercial property with healthy, vibrant trees is more desirable to customers and tenants alike. According to Arborist News, studies show that a well-maintained landscape with healthy trees can increase property values from 9% to 12%. Studies also showed the presence of trees on commercial properties increases consumer spending and helps commercial landlords achieve higher rents.
Conversely, trees that look thin and scraggly, overgrown, or diseased can depreciate your property, costing money in lost business opportunities. The cost of professional tree maintenance once or twice a year is a small price to pay to preserve and increase your commercial property value and business income.
Keep Your Trees Healthy and Happy
While tree trimming involves an upfront cost, you will save money in the long run. Consider the long-term value of providing a safe environment and avoiding legal issues and costs from injuries or property damage. Tree maintenance goes beyond the aesthetic value, although that also pays dividends over time.
