Commercial Tree Care Services
Professional Commercial Tree Care in Framingham, MA
Commercial properties have special tree care needs that balance the visual appeal of trees with commercial responsibilities (safety & financial) without disrupting commercial operations. Framingham Tree Experts offers comprehensive commercial tree management services to meet the commercial property needs in the MetroWest area. The commercial tree management services we offer include a combination of proactive maintenance, as well as planning for long-term protection of your investment, in addition to improving the professional image of your property.
To be able to deliver commercial tree care services effectively, it is essential to understand the commercial environment. Business properties run on tight time tables and have little room for disruptions during peak hours. Therefore, our commercial tree care services are developed to fit into your commercial operation schedule, with most of the routine maintenance being completed during non-peak hours or weekends so as to disrupt customer traffic and employee productivity as little as possible.
Risk management is an important aspect of commercial tree care that goes beyond just performing maintenance. As a commercial property owner, you can expose yourself to considerable liability if there are accidents related to trees on your property. It is therefore very important to proactively identify and mitigate any potential hazards that could develop into safety hazards or liability concerns. Our certified arborists conduct regular risk assessments to help identify any potential problems before they develop into a safety hazard or liability issue.
Our Commercial Service Process
The commercial tree care program utilized by Framingham Tree Experts is a structured way of providing consistent quality results. The documented process creates reliability in regards to scheduling and documentation; therefore, it makes your job easier as a property manager or business owner.
1. Assessments
We do an initial assessment walk-through of your property. We inspect each tree to evaluate its current condition and health. We will identify areas such as potential hazards, structural damage, and/or appearance concerns related to the trees on your property. We will take the time to hear your thoughts and opinions about your long-term goals for the property and what type of appearance and functionality you are seeking.
2. Presenting a Thorough and Detailed Proposal
Our team will provide you with a written proposal of all the services we recommend. We will break down the services into three main categories (based on priority) so you can determine how much money you would like to spend and when you would like the work done. We will also divide up the services by section of the property, so it is easy to review and pass along to other people who may need to be involved.
3. Scheduling and Coordinating Your Service
Scheduling Services Conveniently: When we plan our service, we try to do it in a manner that minimizes the impact on your day-to-day activities. We will schedule our service at times that coincide with your peak operating periods, planned events, seasonal activities, etc., so you won’t have to worry about us being in the way while we are performing our services.
4. Performing Your Service
Professionalism in the Field: Our crew members will arrive on time, and their trucks will be marked with our company’s logo and name. Each of our crew members will conduct themselves professionally on-site, follow all applicable safety standards, and adhere to your property’s rules and regulations.
5. Final Clean-up and Walk-Through
Restoring Property to Pre-Service Condition: Once we have completed the technical aspects of the service, we will remove all debris created during the service from your property. After we complete our cleanup, we will conduct a final walk-through to ensure that we have restored your property to its original condition.
6. Documentation and Follow-Up
Service Records: Upon completion of the service, we will create a detailed record of the services provided, including the date(s) of the service and a description of the specific services provided. Additionally, if there were any significant findings or recommendations made regarding future maintenance needs, they will be included in the service record.

Specialized Services for Business Properties
The management of a parking area and/or sidewalk is important in ensuring the proper clearance of both vehicles and pedestrian traffic while providing an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere for customers and employees. We ensure that the minimum required clearance heights are maintained above the parking lots and sidewalks, and building entrances. This includes removal of lower hanging branches that may pose safety risks to either people walking on the sidewalks or provide an obstacle for vehicle access to a property. We continuously monitor these clearances so that they will remain at the necessary levels as the trees continue to grow.
Commercial properties have the potential to be affected by the elements (storms) and other emergencies caused by trees, which could potentially affect the operation of a business. Emergency response planning allows us to prepare for possible events. For example, we will work with you to develop a customized emergency response plan that identifies your most critical areas, including main entrance(s), parking for customers, and emergency vehicle access. In addition, our 24/7 emergency response team will respond immediately after an event to clean up the property and restore it to its original state to minimize any disruption to your business.
Utility line management helps prevent power outages and service interruptions that can significantly impact business operations. We will work with your local utilities to maintain sufficient clearances around overhead power lines while also preserving the health and aesthetic value of the trees on your property. Preventative maintenance of utility lines can eliminate unexpected outages and reduce the likelihood of damage to your property due to falling branches.
Property Types We Serve
Retail centers and shopping plazas require regular tree maintenance to create an aesthetically pleasing environment for customers to shop while also supporting the operational needs of their tenants. Our Retail Property Services are focused on providing a welcoming first impression for customers as they enter your center or plaza, reducing visual obstructions for security purposes, and ensuring safe pedestrian and vehicular circulation throughout your property. We know that retail properties must portray a sense of success and prosperity to attract and retain customers.
Office buildings and corporate campuses can benefit from tree care programs that will improve employee satisfaction and present a professional image of the corporation. Our Office Property Services provide a variety of services, including maintaining comfortable outdoor areas for employees, protecting views from office windows, and enhancing attractive entry sequences that impress visitors and potential clients. We work with facility managers to schedule our services to meet corporate sustainability initiatives.
Healthcare facilities have specific needs regarding patient and visitor safety and the beneficial effects of landscaping on the health and wellness of patients. Our Healthcare Property Services provide safety and accessibility while maintaining a healing environment for patients to recover. We understand the critical nature of uninterrupted access for emergency responders and the need to control allergens in the area surrounding medical facilities.
Maintenance Programs And Contracts
Annual tree maintenance contracts give you an ongoing budget for your entire property’s trees, providing a full range of preventative services as well as priority response to emergencies, so you can focus on your core business. Annual tree maintenance contracts provide a wide range of regular tree maintenance activities (pruning, fertilization, pest management, and tree inspections) that will help keep your trees in their best possible shape throughout the year. A budgeted annual price for tree maintenance provides a cost-effective alternative to paying for each visit individually, also allows you to schedule services before they become emergencies.
Our maintenance schedules are customized based on the unique operational needs of each business type and property configuration. For example, retail stores often have higher maintenance needs around holidays and peak shopping periods; whereas, office buildings can be serviced during weekend or early morning hours. We will work with you to establish a maintenance schedule that supports your business, yet still ensures your trees receive proper maintenance.
Emergency response services are given priority to our contract customers, allowing them immediate attention if a storm or other emergency damages their trees and disrupts their business operations. Contract customers are guaranteed to receive service within specific timeframes. In the event of an emergency, our contract customers’ emergency crews are dispatched ahead of non-contract emergency crews. Providing priority emergency response service to our contract customers helps minimize disruption to their businesses and shows our commitment to building long-term customer relationships.
