What United Tree Care Tree Maintenance Includes
United Tree Care provides complete tree maintenance services addressing all aspects of ongoing tree care:
- Regular Health Inspections: United Tree Care arborists conduct routine health inspections during maintenance visits. We examine foliage, branches, trunks, and root areas for signs of disease, pests, stress, or structural problems. Regular monitoring catches issues early.
- Routine Pruning and Trimming: Regular pruning removes dead wood, shapes growth, improves structure, and maintains tree health. United Tree Care prunes trees on appropriate schedules to keep them healthy and attractive without over-pruning.
- Deadwood Removal: Dead branches attract pests, spread disease, and pose safety hazards. United Tree Care removes deadwood during maintenance visits, improving tree health and appearance while reducing risks.
- Crown Management: We manage crown density, shape, and size through selective pruning. Crown management improves light penetration, air circulation, and overall tree structure.
- Growth Monitoring: United Tree Care tracks tree growth and development over time. Growth monitoring helps identify problems early and ensures trees are developing properly.
- Pest Monitoring and Treatment: Regular inspections identify pest problems early when they’re easier to control. United Tree Care monitors for common pests and applies treatments when needed using integrated pest management approaches.
- Disease Prevention and Treatment: Preventive treatments reduce disease risk, and early identification allows prompt treatment. United Tree Care watches for disease symptoms and recommends appropriate interventions.
- Fertilization Services: Regular fertilization provides the nutrients trees need for healthy growth. United Tree Care applies fertilizers on appropriate schedules based on soil conditions and tree needs.
- Soil Management: Healthy soil produces healthy trees. United Tree Care monitors soil conditions, recommends amendments, and manages mulching to maintain optimal growing conditions.
- Watering Guidance: Proper watering is critical for tree health. United Tree Care provides seasonal watering recommendations and identifies drought stress or overwatering problems.
- Mulch Application and Renewal: Proper mulching conserves moisture, moderates soil temperature, and improves soil quality. United Tree Care applies or renews mulch during maintenance visits.
- Seasonal Care: Tree needs to change throughout the year. United Tree Care provides appropriate seasonal care, including spring fertilization, summer watering support, fall preparation, and winter protection.
- Storm Preparation: Before severe weather seasons, United Tree Care can perform maintenance that reduces storm damage risk—removing weak branches, cabling vulnerable areas, and improving tree structure.
- Safety Hazard Identification: During every visit, United Tree Care identifies potential safety hazards, including weak branches, poor structure, or other concerns that require attention.
- Documentation and Reporting: We document services performed, tree conditions, and recommendations for each visit. Reports keep you informed about your trees’ health and maintenance needs.
Benefits of Regular Tree Maintenance
Prevents Costly Problems
Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies. Early intervention saves money by preventing disease spread, structural failure, or tree death that would require removal and replacement.
Preventive care is far less expensive than dealing with advanced problems or emergency situations.
Extends Tree Lifespan
Trees receiving regular maintenance live longer, healthier lives. Proper care prevents premature decline and extends the productive life of trees by decades.
Well-maintained trees are more resilient to stress, disease, and environmental challenges.
Maintains Property Value
Healthy, well-maintained trees add significant value to properties. Regular maintenance protects this investment and keeps your landscape attractive. Properties with maintained trees command higher prices.
Neglected trees decline and may become liabilities that reduce property value.
Improves Tree Appearance
Regular pruning, deadwood removal, and health care keep trees looking their best. Maintained trees have fuller canopies, better shape, and healthier foliage than neglected trees.
Your landscape appearance improves dramatically with consistent tree maintenance.
Enhances Safety
Maintenance removes hazards before they cause injuries or property damage. Regular inspections identify weak branches, structural problems, or other safety concerns early.
Well-maintained trees are safer for families, visitors, and property.
Reduces Emergency Situations
Trees that receive regular care are less likely to experience sudden failures or require emergency services. Maintenance prevents the emergencies that create stress and unexpected expenses.
Promotes Healthy Growth
Proper pruning, fertilization, and care produce vigorous, healthy growth. Maintained trees have better resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stress.
Healthy trees recover faster from damage and adapt better to changing conditions.
Provides Peace of Mind
Knowing your trees are being monitored and cared for by professionals provides peace of mind. Regular maintenance means you don’t have to worry about your trees—we handle it for you.
Optimizes Landscape Investment
Trees are significant landscape investments. Regular maintenance protects and enhances this investment, ensuring trees provide maximum benefits and beauty.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Maintenance
How often should trees be maintained?
Maintenance frequency depends on tree species, age, health, and location. Young trees often benefit from annual or bi-annual maintenance. Mature healthy trees may need maintenance every 2-3 years. Trees with problems or high-value specimens benefit from more frequent care. United Tree Care recommends appropriate schedules for your specific trees.
What's the difference between maintenance and one-time service?
Maintenance involves ongoing care with regular visits over time. One-time services address immediate needs but don’t provide continuing monitoring or care. Maintenance produces better long-term results through consistent attention and early problem identification.
How much does tree maintenance cost?
Maintenance costs vary based on the number and size of trees, visit frequency, and services included. Regular maintenance is often more economical than periodic emergency services. United Tree Care provides free consultations and transparent pricing for maintenance programs.

United Tree Care maintenance programs are flexible. You can adjust or cancel programs as needs change. We work with you to provide appropriate care levels for your situation.
Do you provide emergency services for maintenance clients?
Yes. United Tree Care prioritizes emergency response for maintenance clients. Regular clients receive priority scheduling for urgent situations.
What happens if I miss scheduled maintenance?
We work with you to reschedule missed visits. However, gaps in maintenance may affect tree health and reduce program effectiveness. Consistent care produces the best results.

Absolutely. United Tree Care maintains any trees regardless of who planted them. We provide ongoing care for existing landscapes.

Programs include services specified in your plan. Additional services beyond the program scope can be added as needed. We discuss what’s included during program setup.
How do you track tree health over time?
United Tree Care maintains records for each property, including tree conditions, services performed, and observations. Records track changes over time and support better care decisions.
Can programs be customized?
