How Splintered Forest Tree Services Supports HOA and Property Management Companies

Managing the health and beauty of trees on a property can be a daunting task, especially for homeowners’ associations (HOAs) and property management companies. Trees are not just aesthetic features; they are vital for the environment, property values, and the overall well-being of a community. 

At Splintered Forest Tree Services, we specialize in providing comprehensive tree care solutions tailored to the unique needs of HOAs and property management companies. From tree health management and Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) injections to tree trimming, pruning, and tree removals, we are your trusted tree care partner for maintaining safe and vibrant landscapes. Additionally, we offer consultations with an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Board Certified Master Arborist (BCMA)® to ensure your green assets are in expert hands.

The Importance of Professional Tree Health Management

It is important when it comes to tree services for HOAs and property management companies to contract with a team of professionals.  Trees are living organisms that require consistent care to thrive. Healthy trees can significantly enhance the curb appeal of any property, while poorly maintained ones can pose safety hazards and diminish property value. Splintered Forest Tree Services provides proactive tree health management plans that address the unique needs of each individual property. 

Our services include:

  • Pest and Disease Control: Identifying and addressing potential threats to tree health, including invasive pests like Emerald Ash Borer.
  • Soil and Nutrient Analysis: Ensuring trees receive the essential nutrients they need to grow.
  • Regular Monitoring: Conducting routine inspections to catch potential issues early and provide recommendations for ongoing care.

Our team’s expertise ensures that trees remain healthy, safe, and visually appealing, making your property a welcoming environment for both residents and visitors alike.

Combatting the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Threat

Emerald Ash Borer or more commonly referred to as simply EAB, is an invasive pest that has devastated ash tree populations across the United States. These tiny, metallic-green beetles lay their eggs on ash trees, and their larvae feed on the inner bark, disrupting the tree’s ability to transport water and nutrients. Without intervention, EAB infestations can quickly kill ash trees, leaving them as hazardous liabilities.  At the time of publishing, the green menace has been located in multiple local cities including Littleton, Boulder and Lakewood to name a few. 

Splintered Forest Tree Services offers specialized EAB injection treatments designed to protect and preserve ash trees. 

Our process includes:

  1. Assessment by an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist®: Evaluating the extent of the infestation and determining whether the tree can be saved.
  2. Precise Injections: Administering targeted treatments directly into the tree’s vascular system to eliminate EAB larvae and prevent future infestations.
  3. Ongoing Monitoring: Following up to ensure the treatment’s effectiveness and adjusting care as needed.

For smaller ash trees that aren’t good candidates for injections (typically less than 4-5” in diameter), we also offer EAB soil treatments which refers to the application of insecticides to the soil to combat the pest.  

EAB soil treatments work by applying a systemic insecticide around the base of an ash tree.  The tree absorbs the chemical through its roots and distributes it through the vascular system.  When the emerald ash borers feed on the treated tree, they ingest the insecticide which in turn kills them.  

These proactive measures can save valuable trees and reduce the risk of costly removals for property management companies and HOAs.

Tree Trimming and Pruning for Safety and Aesthetics

Regular tree trimming and pruning are essential to maintain both the safety and visual appeal of a property. Overgrown branches can obstruct walkways, encroach on buildings, and pose hazards especially during heavy snow or wind storms. Meanwhile, improper pruning can weaken trees and make them more susceptible to disease.

At Splintered Forest Tree Services, we provide expert trimming and pruning services that adhere to industry standards. Our approach includes:

  • Crown Cleaning: Removing dead, diseased or damaged branches to improve the tree’s health and appearance.
  • Crown Raising: Elevating lower branches to provide clearance for pedestrians, vehicles, and structures.
  • Crown Reduction: Carefully reducing the size of the tree’s canopy to minimize wind resistance and prevent storm and snow damage.
  • Aesthetic Shaping: Enhancing the natural beauty of trees to complement the overall landscape design.

Our skilled crews use industry leading equipment and techniques to ensure precise, safe, and efficient pruning that benefits both the trees and the surrounding community.

Safe and Efficient Tree Removal Services For HOAs and Property Management Companies

While the goal is always to preserve trees, there are times when removing the tree becomes necessary. Dead or dying trees, those damaged beyond repair, or trees that pose a safety risk must be addressed promptly to prevent accidents and liability issues.

Splintered Forest Tree Services specializes in safe and efficient tree removal. Our process includes:

  • Comprehensive Risk Assessment: Identifying trees that need removal and developing a plan that minimizes disruption to the property.  We have crew members who have received the Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) from the International Society of Arboriculture to complete these assessments. 
  • Expert Execution: Using state-of-the-art equipment such as our in-house Palfinger Knuckleboom Crane and techniques to safely remove trees, even in tight or challenging locations.
  • Site Cleanup: Ensuring the area is left clean and free of debris, ready for future landscaping or replanting.

By entrusting tree removal to our experienced team, HOAs and property management companies can rest assured that the job will be done safely and professionally every time.
