What Is Tree Care?

Tree care is the ongoing maintenance and protection of your trees to ensure they remain healthy, safe, and beautiful throughout their lifetime. It combines proactive measures — such as trimming, fertilization, and pest control — with professional monitoring to prevent small issues from becoming costly problems.

When performed by ISA-certified arborists, tree care is more than just occasional maintenance. It’s a science-based, holistic approach that works with natural growth patterns and environmental conditions to preserve your trees, enhance your landscape, and protect your property value.

Tree Care FAQs

Expert guidance from ISA Certified Arborists on maintaining healthy, beautiful trees with professional pruning, trimming, and preventative care practices
  • Can proper residential tree care increase my property’s value?
    Yes—healthy, well-maintained trees significantly enhance curb appeal and contribute to a more attractive landscape. Residential tree pruning services and professional tree trimming help maintain a polished look while keeping your property safe from falling limbs. Long-term care from an ISA Certified Arborist ensures your trees remain an asset rather than a liability.


  • Do all tree care services need to be performed by an ISA Certified Arborist?
    While not every task requires certification, working with an ISA Certified Arborist ensures the work follows industry best practices. Certified professionals have the training to make precise cuts, diagnose tree health issues, and create safe, effective care strategies. This expertise is especially valuable for residential tree pruning services and professional tree trimming.


  • How can an ISA Certified Arborist improve my tree’s long-term health?
    An ISA Certified Arborist has advanced training in tree biology, structural integrity, and proper maintenance techniques. They can identify early signs of disease, structural weaknesses, or soil deficiencies and provide solutions before they become costly problems. This expert guidance ensures your trees receive the highest level of residential tree care possible.


  • How can residential tree care help protect my home from storm damage?
    By removing hazardous branches and improving tree structure, professional tree trimming reduces the chance of limbs breaking during high winds. Residential tree pruning services also help maintain a balanced canopy, minimizing stress on the trunk and roots during storms. An ISA Certified Arborist can assess your property and create a storm-resilient care plan.


  • How often should I schedule professional tree trimming for my property?
    Most mature trees benefit from professional tree trimming every 3–5 years, while younger trees may need more frequent shaping to develop strong branch structure. Seasonal growth rates, storm activity, and tree species also influence trimming frequency. An ISA Certified Arborist can recommend the ideal schedule for your specific trees and landscape goals.


  • Is residential tree care just about pruning and trimming?
    No—while professional tree trimming and pruning are important, residential tree care also includes soil health management, root care, pest and disease control, and seasonal maintenance. Comprehensive care keeps trees strong and safe, improving their resilience to weather and environmental stress. An ISA Certified Arborist can create a holistic plan to address all aspects of tree health.


  • What are the risks of neglecting residential tree care?
    Neglecting tree care can lead to overgrowth, structural instability, pest infestations, and increased risk of property damage. Without regular professional tree trimming and pruning, trees may develop weak branches or excessive weight that makes them more prone to failure. Preventive maintenance from an ISA Certified Arborist helps you avoid costly emergencies.


  • What does residential tree care include?

    Residential tree care is a comprehensive approach to maintaining the health, safety, and beauty of your trees. It can include residential tree pruning services, professional tree trimming, fertilization, pest and disease management, and soil improvement. An ISA Certified Arborist will tailor a care plan based on your property’s needs, ensuring your trees thrive year-round.

  • Why is regular residential tree pruning important for tree health?
    Pruning removes dead, diseased, or poorly structured branches, which helps reduce the risk of storm damage and pest infestations. Residential tree pruning services also improve air circulation and sunlight penetration within the canopy, encouraging stronger, healthier growth. When performed by a professional tree trimming team under the guidance of an ISA Certified Arborist, pruning extends a tree’s lifespan and maintains its natural beauty.
