5 myths about tree surgery!
The best way to prevent harm to your property and community is to remove a tree when maintenance procedures like trimming or disease mitigation are no longer sufficient to maintain its health.
However, a number of misconceptions concerning tree removal and pruning frequently keep property managers from doing either, putting them at risk for both property damage and the spread of diseases!
Take a look at some of these common misconceptions...

As a property manager, ensuring the safety of your properties isn’t just about the buildings, it extends to the surrounding grounds as well. Poorly maintained grounds can create serious health and safety risks, leading to potential liabilities and costly claims. Trip & Slip Hazards – Uneven pathways, overgrown roots, and wet leaves can become dangerous for visitors and staff. Overhanging Branches – Weak or damaged tree limbs pose a risk to people, vehicles, and buildings. Blocked Fire Exits & Access Routes – Overgrown hedges and vegetation can obstruct essential access points.
Drainage & Flooding Issues – Leaves and debris can block drains, leading to water logging and property damage.
Regular grounds maintenance helps prevent these risks, keeping your properties safe, compliant, and visually appealing. A proactive approach ensures you’re not dealing with expensive emergency fixes later on!
