Commercial tree care that meets your liability and aesthetic requirements
Commercial properties have different tree-care requirements than residential. Liability exposure is higher (more foot traffic, more legal scrutiny after incidents). HOA and property management aesthetic standards are tighter (uniform appearance, scheduled cycles). Insurance carriers often require documented annual inspections. Tree Care Pros built our commercial program around these realities: ISA Certified Arborists on every site visit, written tree-risk assessments following ISA's TRAQ methodology, documented care histories for every property, photo records for insurance and HOA boards, and credentialed reports accepted by Texas courts, municipalities, and insurance carriers.
Annual maintenance contracts
Most commercial clients move from ad-hoc 'call when there's a problem' to annual contracts within the first 6 months. The economics favor it: predictable budget, scheduled service that prevents emergencies, lower per-visit cost, and one accountable arborist who knows every tree on the property. Typical commercial annual programs include 4-6 scheduled visits per year covering inspection, pruning per ANSI A300, Plant Health Care treatments, soil management, mulch refresh, deadwood and hazard removal, and post-storm response. Annual contract pricing in DFW: small HOA / strip retail $2,000-5,000/year. Mid-size apartment complex / commercial campus $5,000-15,000/year. Large estate / corporate campus $15,000-50,000+/year.
Property types we serve in DFW

What our commercial assessment includes
Pre-engagement walk-through with property manager/board, complete tree inventory with species, condition rating, GPS coordinates, and photos, ISA-TRAQ risk assessment for hazard trees, written prescribed care plan, multi-year budget projection, insurance documentation package, HOA / board presentation materials, and proposed maintenance schedule. Initial inventory and assessment is typically $500-2,500 depending on tree count and property size — credited back if you sign an annual contract.
Why credentials matter for commercial properties
Insurance carriers, property managers, and HOA boards increasingly require credentialed arborists for any tree-related work. The 'lowest bid landscape contractor' model doesn't survive a litigation review when a tree falls and someone gets hurt. Our credentials: ISA Certified Arborist (International Society of Arboriculture, verifiable at treesaregood.org), TCIA member company (Tree Care Industry Association), TDA Pesticide Applicator License (Texas Department of Agriculture — required for any chemical treatment), BBB Accredited A+ rating, $2M general liability insurance + Texas workers compensation. We provide certificate copies on request before any work begins.
Emergency commercial response
Storms, hazard limbs, tree-on-structure events at commercial properties require fast credentialed response. We respond 24/7 across DFW with typical 1-3 hour arrival during active storm events. Insurance documentation is generated on-site for immediate claim submission. We work directly with property insurance adjusters and provide all necessary written reports.
