A Tree Management Plan That Protects Your Budget and Your Community
Every property is different, which is why we begin with a Priority-Based Tree List and a customized Tree Management Plan designed specifically for your landscape.
A Tree Management Plan is a structured, long-term strategy for caring for your trees. It includes a tree inventory, a catalog of every tree on your property – along with notes on species, condition, size, risk factors, maintenance needs, and recommended timelines. This gives you a clear, organized roadmap that makes it easy to prioritize safety improvements, plan seasonal work, and budget responsibly across months or fiscal years.
What a Tree Management Plan Allows You to Do?
Identify trees that require urgent safety attention before they become liabilities
Prioritize pruning, removals, and treatments based on documented need—not guesswork
Reduce liability through routine inspections and written records prepared by certified arborists
Plan seasonal and annual work efficiently, avoiding budget spikes
Maintain curb appeal and resident satisfaction through consistent, predictable care
For HOAs and managed properties, this structure supports better governance and clearer decision-making.
We offer flexible planning options, including:
Tree Management Plans are not one-size-fits-all. We tailor planning and maintenance schedules to match the size, complexity, and risk profile of your property.
Planning options may include:
Monthly or quarterly maintenance visits for routine pruning, cleanup, and hazard monitoring
Annual arborist evaluations that support HOA, insurance, or municipal requirements
Multi-year management plans with mapped inventories and long-term budgeting guidance
Project-based planning, including storm recovery, wildfire-safety improvements, and tree health treatments
This flexibility allows boards and property managers to align tree care with operational priorities and financial planning.

Commercial & HOA - Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Tree Management Plan and why do HOAs need one?
A Tree Management Plan is a long-term strategy that includes a full tree inventory, risk ratings, maintenance recommendations, and budget planning. HOAs and commercial properties use these plans to reduce liability, prioritize high-risk trees, and plan seasonal or multi-year maintenance without cost surprises.
How often should our HOA schedule tree inspections?
Most communities benefit from annual inspections, with quarterly or semi-annual visits for properties with large or high-risk trees. Regular inspections help identify hazards early, extend the life of your trees, and meet insurance or compliance requirements.
Do commercial properties need arborist reports for permits?
Yes – many counties, including El Dorado and surrounding Sierra Foothill regions, require Arborist Reports for tree removals, construction projects, and certain safety concerns. Our certified arborists provide permit-ready documentation that meets ISA and ANSI standards.
Can you help our HOA plan for wildfire safety?
Absolutely. We provide wildfire defensible space, brush clearing, and fuel reduction services tailored to the Sierra Foothills. These services protect structures, reduce liability, and help communities meet fire safety guidelines.
Do you offer multi-property or long-term maintenance contracts?
Yes. We create customized monthly, quarterly, or annual maintenance plans for HOAs, commercial campuses, apartment communities, and business parks. We also offer multi-year Tree Management Plans with digital maps and reporting.
What’s included in a Priority-Based Tree List?
Your Priority-Based Tree List identifies which trees need attention first based on safety, health, wildfire risk, and aesthetics. This helps you plan work efficiently, schedule preventive care, and manage budgets strategically.
