Why Regular Tree Maintenance is Essential for Commercial Properties

You only get one chance to make a first impression. And while commercial enterprises and businesses often focus their attention on the presentation of their site or premises, considering branding and the customer or client journey on arrival, at Elite Trees we believe that first impression is made before they even walk in the door.

The first impression is, in most instances, determined by the curb appeal of your premises. That is, how well-kept is the outside of your property? Are the trees and branches well managed for both safety and aesthetic value? Is your business investing in the environment and safeguarding habitats as part of its commercial premises?

In this article, we’re sharing just some of the reasons why tree maintenance matters when it comes to your commercial premises, and why investing in the services of a commercial tree surgeon in Ipswich is something you should consider.

What Does Tree Maintenance Involve?

The most important thing you need to know about tree maintenance is that it covers the aesthetic look and presentation of a tree, and its structural integrity and safety.

Professionally trained tree surgeons are able to work at height, navigating branch removal, crown reduction, pollarding, and even tree felling and more significant structural work. They cover tasks which impact the look of the tree and its infrastructure, and can identify early signs of disease or damage.

The Advantages for Businesses

There are several advantages to thorough tree maintenance for your commercial premises and businesses.

First and foremost, good tree maintenance leaves trees looking neat and tidy. This has a positive impact on the first impression that visitors, customers, and clients get when visiting your site, and creates a productive and attractive outside space for employees and visitors to enjoy.

What’s more, tree maintenance minimises the risk of branches that break away and fall, potentially causing accidents and injuries. By removing oversized branches before they become too heavy to be safely held up by the tree, health and safety risks are mitigated.

Finally, good tree maintenance pays close attention to the health of the tree and its role within the surrounding ecosystem. Trees provide vital habitat to wildlife, shading different plants and providing safe homes for birds and other animals. Having well maintained trees within your commercial premises contributes towards your businesses eco-goals and sustainability.

Why Should Tree Maintenance be Carried Out by Professionals?

Tree maintenance should be carried out by those who are trained to work with trees – both structurally and regarding their health and stability.

Tree surgeons are trained to work at height and with complex machinery and can recognise the signs of tree disease. They know how to improve the health of a tree and can make recommendations and take action to improve the lifespan of a tree and the wildlife around it.

What’s more, they are widely accessible and make tree and outdoor maintenance much smoother for commercial property managers and business owners. For more information, get in touch.
