Overgrown trees can pose a serious risk to not only buildings, but people. As a property manager, tree trimming in Denver is important to maintain your landscape’s overall appearance and safety for everyone who visits. Professional tree trimming enhances the book value of commercial properties, while reducing the risk of property damage and personal injury. Find out why property managers should prune overgrown trees to protect themselves and their tenants, and create a more beautiful, inviting space for everyone.
Slipping Hazard:
Dense, overgrown trees prevent the sun from warming paths, allowing ice and snow to build up on walkways causing them to become slippery and dangerous for you and your tenants. This can lead to expensive medical bills along with lawsuits due to negligence.
Visibility:
It’s important not to risk the safety of others by obscuring the visibility of traffic. Overgrown trees and even shrubs can endanger us all when they obstruct the view of traffic signs, pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. One of the last things you want to deal as a property manager or owner, is an accident on your property caused by something that is easily preventable.
Property Damage:
The most obvious risk associated with overgrown trees is property damage. Unpruned trees can pose a huge threat during a storm. Colorado winds, lighting, and snow storms can all quickly and easily damage everything from a roof to a car. It doesn’t even have to be a stormy day for an overgrown tree to fall – dead or even broken branches and limbs are already in a weakened state and can fall on a sunny Colorado day.
