Fallen tree removal in The Courtyards

What You Should Know About Trees

After 10 years working with trees in The Courtyards, we’ve learned what property owners and managers need to know. What we’ve learned that could benefit you:

Insurance and licensing matter more than price. Hiring an uninsured tree service to save money is one of the worst decisions a property owner can make. If an uninsured worker gets hurt on your property, you could be liable for medical bills, lost wages, and permanent disability costs—potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars. If they damage your property or a neighbor’s, you’re paying for repairs. Always verify insurance and licensing before hiring anyone. We’re fully licensed (Business License #47-5381002) and insured, and we provide certificates before starting any work.

Certified arborists make a difference. Not everyone who cuts trees understands tree biology, proper assessment techniques, or safe removal procedures. Our certified arborists have passed rigorous exams and maintain ongoing education. This expertise means better decisions about whether trees need removal, more accurate hazard identification, and safer, more effective work. When you hire One, Two, Tree, you’re getting certified professionals, not just people with chainsaws.

Dead and hazardous trees threaten tenant safety and property values. Dead wood becomes brittle and unpredictable. It can fail without warning, especially during storms. If you’re a property manager with dead trees near structures, parking areas, or common spaces, removal should be a priority. The cost of removal is far less than the liability of injury or the cost of property damage when a hazardous tree fails. Effective property management means proactive tree care.

Trees don’t die overnight—they show warning signs. Thinning canopy, dead branches, peeling bark, fungal growth, and cracks in the trunk all indicate problems. Our certified arborists can assess tree health during regular property inspections. Early identification of hazardous trees allows for planned removal during convenient times rather than emergency situations. Regular assessments by certified professionals protect your investment and your tenants.

Storm damage often reveals hidden problems. Trees that fail during storms usually had pre-existing weaknesses—decay, root problems, or structural defects. After major storms, have your remaining trees inspected by a certified arborist for damage that might not be obvious. Hanging branches, cracks, or shifted root systems can make trees dangerous even if they didn’t fall. We provide emergency services and follow-up assessments to ensure your properties remain safe.

Proper cleanup protects property appearance and tenant satisfaction. Tree work creates debris, and incomplete cleanup reflects poorly on property management. We’re meticulous about cleanup—chipping all branches, hauling away wood, raking debris, and blowing off hard surfaces. We use specialized techniques to protect surrounding landscaping during removal. When we leave, your property looks better than before we arrived. This attention to detail supports tenant satisfaction and property values.

Emergency tree work costs more than scheduled work. Mobilizing crews after hours, working in dangerous conditions, and prioritizing urgent situations requires premium pricing. If you can schedule hazardous tree removal before it becomes an emergency, you’ll save money. Regular property inspections by our certified arborists identify problems before they become disasters. Proactive management is more cost-effective than reactive emergency response.

Documentation matters for property management and insurance. We provide detailed reports, photos, and professional invoicing for all work performed. This documentation helps with budgeting, insurance claims, and maintaining records across your property portfolio. Our certified arborists can provide written assessments and recommendations that support your property management decisions. Professional documentation protects you and demonstrates due diligence.

Local regulations and HOA requirements affect tree work. Some areas in The Courtyards have tree preservation ordinances or homeowner association requirements. We know local regulations and navigate these rules so you don’t have to. Our experience working throughout The Courtyards means we understand what’s required for compliance. We handle permits and coordination when necessary, simplifying the process for property managers and homeowners.

Stump grinding doesn’t remove the entire root system. Grinding eliminates the visible stump and major surface roots, but underground roots remain and decay over time. This is fine for most purposes—you can plant grass or landscape over ground stumps. But if you’re planning construction or significant development, discuss your plans with us so we can recommend the appropriate level of stump removal. Our certified arborists provide honest advice about what’s necessary for your specific situation.
