Plant Health Care (PHC) FAQs

Expert strategies for maintaining healthy, vibrant trees and landscapes on commercial properties year-round
  • Can PHC help commercial properties comply with safety regulations?
    Absolutely. A strong PHC program identifies hazards like dead branches, structural weaknesses, or pest infestations before they threaten people or property. An ISA Certified Arborist can integrate professional tree trimming, cabling, and other safety measures into the PHC plan to meet OSHA, municipal, or HOA safety requirements.


  • Can PHC improve the value and appearance of a commercial property?
    Yes. Healthy, well-maintained trees contribute to a welcoming environment, shade, and visual appeal, which can attract tenants, clients, and visitors. With services like professional tree trimming, soil health optimization, and pest prevention, a PHC program managed by an ISA Certified Arborist safeguards your property’s landscape investment while enhancing its market value.


  • Does Commercial PHC include tree pruning and trimming?
    Yes. While PHC focuses on the overall health of trees, it often incorporates structural maintenance like professional tree trimming and corrective pruning. These services are designed not only for aesthetics but also to remove hazardous branches, improve air flow, and reduce disease risks—similar to high-quality residential tree pruning services but tailored for commercial environments.


  • How does PHC benefit commercial properties compared to reactive tree care?
    Proactive PHC identifies and addresses tree health issues before they become costly hazards or liabilities. For example, early intervention for pests or nutrient deficiencies can extend a tree’s lifespan and prevent emergency removals. Unlike one-time residential tree pruning services or reactive trimming, PHC is an ongoing program that combines monitoring, treatment, and preventive maintenance to protect your landscape year-round.


  • How often should a commercial property receive PHC services?
    The frequency of PHC visits depends on your property’s size, tree species, site conditions, and environmental factors. Many commercial properties benefit from quarterly inspections by an ISA Certified Arborist, with seasonal treatments for pests, diseases, and soil health. Professional tree trimming or pruning may be scheduled annually or biannually to maintain safety and structure.


  • What is Commercial Plant Health Care (PHC) and why is it important for businesses?

    Commercial Plant Health Care (PHC) is a proactive, science-based approach to maintaining the health, safety, and beauty of trees and landscapes on business properties, campuses, and HOA-managed communities. It includes services such as soil analysis, fertilization, disease and pest control, and structural maintenance like professional tree trimming. An ISA Certified Arborist designs each PHC program to protect your investment, enhance curb appeal, and reduce long-term maintenance costs.

  • What’s the difference between PHC for commercial properties and residential tree care?
    While the principles are similar, commercial PHC programs are typically larger in scale and require coordination across multiple stakeholders such as property managers, landscape architects, and maintenance crews. They also prioritize public safety, regulatory compliance, and budget predictability. However, both commercial PHC and residential tree pruning services rely on professional tree trimming and ISA Certified Arborist oversight for success.


  • Who manages a Commercial PHC program?
    An ISA Certified Arborist typically oversees the entire Commercial PHC program, ensuring all recommendations follow industry standards and best practices. They coordinate specialized services like professional tree trimming, soil decompaction, root zone care, and pest management. This expert oversight is particularly important for large-scale properties where tree health impacts safety, compliance, and visual presentation.
