Proactive Tree Care Tips
Prevent casualties or losses on your property. Keep your trees healthy for longer and protect your loved ones from potential harm. Here are proactive tree care steps you can take as a tree owner.
- If you have been considering planting or installing new trees or shrubs in your landscape, be sure to consult professionals. Design your landscape not only for beauty but also for function and safety. Certified arborists will be able to advise you which trees will work best for your property.
- Work continuously with tree care professionals. Landscaping and planting trees are not a one-time project. Be sure to consult or coordinate with professionals at every stage of your landscape improvement project. This is crucial to also prevent financial loss should any disaster or issue strike.
- Make it a habit to capture images of your trees while they’re flourishing and healthy. Save and backup your photos. These files will come in handy should you need a documentation of ‘before’ and ‘after’ condition of your trees.
- Know what you can expect from your insurance provider. Understand your coverage and if you have any questions regarding your policy, contact your provider. Do this even if you have no urgent concerns or situation at the moment.
- Keep your property appraisals and related documents organized. This way, everything you need is easily accessible should you decide to process insurance claims.
