Commercial Tree Care | HOAs & Municipal

Municipal credential: American Fork City

Ben has done landscape and tree-management planning for American Fork City, designing planting plans and long-term care schedules for municipal trees. The work involved species selection for street and park trees, a multi-year pruning rotation, and a written care budget the city could plan against.

Who we work with

HOAs

Annual tree-management programs covering common areas, parkstrips, and entry features. Written scopes, predictable budgets, and on-time visits the board can plan around.

Property Managers

Commercial properties, apartment communities, and mixed-use sites. Regular inspections, scheduled maintenance, and same-day storm response under a single point of contact.

Commercial Owners

Office parks, retail, churches, cemeteries, schools. Whether it is a one-time hazard takedown or a multi-year tree-management plan, we scope it in writing first.

Municipalities

Planting plans for new streets and parks, long-term care schedules for the existing canopy, species inventories, and replacement programming for aging stands.

Developers & Builders

Full landscape design for new residential and commercial builds. Pre-construction tree assessments, protection plans during build, and finished planting designs that match the architecture. Ben loves this work.

Estates & Large Properties

Properties with a serious canopy deserve serious planning. Multi-year scopes, single-point accountability, and the same anti-upsell ethos as our residential work.

What a commercial engagement looks like

For ongoing maintenance contracts, the typical first engagement runs like this:

Site walk and inventory. We catalog every tree on the property, with location, species, size, condition, and any concerns. You get a written inventory document.
Three-to-five-year plan. A staged maintenance schedule with pricing, so your budget line is real instead of a guess.
Scope of work for year one. Specific cuts, specific trees, specific dates. Signed before the first visit.
Scheduled visits. We show up when we said we would. If weather pushes a date, you get a call before the window passes.
Annual review. Once a year we walk the property again and update the plan. Trees grow, priorities change, the plan keeps up.

What we can also document

Commercial and municipal clients often need paperwork the homeowner does not. We can provide:

Certificate of insurance, on demand
ISA Certified Arborist credential verification
Written tree-risk assessments to ISA standards
Pre-construction tree-protection plans
Insurance-claim documentation after storms
RFP responses with itemized scopes and timelines

The honest part

Bigger contracts deserve bigger transparency. The anti-upsell ethos applies to commercial work the same way it does in a backyard. If a removal is not the right answer, we will say so. If your existing landscape contractor is doing the routine work fine, we will tell you that too and quote only the work they cannot.

Trees as infrastructure.
