How We Do It
A structured program, not just a service call
Our ISA Certified Arborists® walk the full landscape to evaluate tree and shrub health, identify structural concerns, flag pest and disease activity, and document current conditions. From that baseline, we develop a customized maintenance program scoped to your property and present it with clear scope and pricing before any work begins.
Why we do it
Plant health is a property asset
Well-maintained trees and shrubs do more than look professional. They shape the experience of everyone on your property. Mature tree canopy supports local ecology and contributes to the kind of outdoor spaces that attract and retain tenants. Curb appeal drives first impressions, and a landscape that shows visible decline reflects on the property and the people managing it.
Benefits from the ground up
Pruning and structural care
Selective shrub pruning, structural pruning, and deadwood removal are scheduled based on species, growth patterns, and site conditions, instead of just a regular calendar cadence.
Fertilization and soil health
Where soil conditions warrant it, we include biostimulant applications to support mycorrhizal fungi activity and improve the soil's ability to deliver nutrients to root systems.
ISA Certified Arborists
Every Townsend Arborcare program is led by ISA Certified Arborists with the training to deliver expert diagnoses of health issues, detailed assessments of structural risk, and science-based solutions tailored to your site.
Frequently Asked Questions About Routine Care Programs
A Townsend program typically includes seasonal pruning and trimming, structural pruning and deadwood removal, deep root fertilization, insect and disease monitoring and treatment, and periodic arborist assessments with documented findings. The exact scope is built around your property’s specific tree and shrub inventory, soil conditions, and risk profile—determined during the initial on-site assessment.
Visit frequency depends on the scope of the program and your site’s needs. Most commercial properties are serviced on a seasonal cycle, typically three to four scheduled visits per year, with the option for additional visits if monitoring identifies an issue that requires prompt attention. We work around your operational schedule and can coordinate access with facility management teams.
Standard landscaping maintenance focuses on appearance like mowing, edging, blowing. A Townsend tree and shrub care program is an arborist-led service focused on plant health, structural integrity, and risk reduction. Our certified arborists assess and treat the biological conditions affecting your trees and shrubs, not just their visual presentation. It’s a different discipline, and the two can run in parallel without overlap.
Yes. Townsend focuses specifically on tree and shrub health, structural care, and plant health care services. This scope is distinct from general grounds maintenance and works well alongside an existing landscaping contractor. We can coordinate with your grounds management team to ensure pruning schedules and treatment timing don’t conflict with other site work.
Our commitment to service means you get a courteous crew that shows up on time, works efficiently, and responds to requests in a timely manner. We offer free assessments and quotes so you know what you can expect to pay before signing on. Our crews provide cleanup after service to ensure we’re always leaving a property better than the way we found it. We actively encourage our customers to leave feedback, as we’re always looking to improve our customer experience.
