Whether you own a retail store or a distribution warehouse, your landscaping can have a surprisingly large impact on your business. A dead tree on your property doesn’t just harm your curb appeal — it also poses a significant safety hazard. The following tree removal do’s & don’ts will help you better maintain your property.

Do:

You can prevent severe problems on your property by inspecting the health of your trees regularly. Be on the lookout for brown leaves, cracks in the trunk, and poor structure — common signs that a tree is diseased or dying. After a severe storm, check for broken or fallen branches.

If a dead tree falls on an employee or customer, you will be held liable. Use caution tape to create a barrier that alerts others to stay clear of the area. This precaution will reduce the risk of an accident until someone can remove the tree.

Don’t:

Tree removal is a complex task that should never be attempted by an amateur. Trying to remove the tree yourself could cause it to fall onto your building or result in personal injury. Contact a professional to ensure safe and efficient removal.

If a tree has died as a result of disease, you should inspect other trees located nearby. If you didn’t catch the condition early on, it could have quickly spread to other trees on your property. Promptly identifying and removing infected trees or branches will keep the problem from spreading even further.
