The management and maintenance of a community's large number of trees usually takes a 'back-seat' to other landscape components such as the annual lawn mowing, mulching of beds, and flower plantings. What can occur is that the tree population is essentially ignored until the trees have grown to a large size and they become nuisances to residents, or even worse, a severe storm comes along resulting in serious tree and property damage. Unfortunately with many managed communities, the trees are then frequently dealt with on a strictly reactionary basis. The community’s annual budget then takes an unplanned ‘hit’ forcing the Board and property managers to draw funds from other areas of the budget to cover these unplanned-for costs. But – there is a better way - a way of consistently maintaining your trees within a defendable, intelligently created annual budget based on facts. This is achieved through a professionally done tree inventory and tree management plan.
