Keep People Clear of Damaged Property Trees
Safety first
Keep tenants, customers, students and cars outside the area beneath a broken or hanging limb, using cones or tape only from a safe position; OSHA recommends controlling access around tree work drop zones. Call now to describe the damaged tree and the entrances or parking spaces affected.
Treat downed wires as live, stay away from anything they touch and report them to the utility, following Ameren's downed wire guidance. Call 911 for an immediate emergency. Leave line hazards to the utility.
Tree work belongs with trained tree workers, rather than maintenance staff; OSHA's tree care guidance addresses job skills, electrical hazards and work zone training. Take photos only from a safe distance, without entering the closed area.
Commercial Properties Served Around Collinsville
Keep damaged tree areas separate from everyday property traffic, and call about commercial tree service for these properties.

- HOAs and common ground: HOA tree trimming addresses branches beside shared paths, with tree removals and stump grinding planned around residents using the grounds.
- Office parks: Tree service for property managers includes pruning beside buildings and drives, plus removal of failing trees near employee parking.
- Retail centers and parking lots: Parking lot tree trimming addresses low branches over customer spaces, delivery routes and storefront approaches without treating every tree alike.
- Churches and schools: Tree work addresses damaged limbs, entrance clearance and stumps near gathering areas, with pedestrian routes included in the work plan.
- Warehouses and industrial lots: Clearing overgrown fence lines and pruning beside access roads creates room around loading areas and the edges of buildings.

Tree Problems Across Parking Lots and Common Ground
Keep people away from damaged branches and obstructed routes, and call about the tree problem affecting your property.
- Storm limbs across parking: Keep cars and pedestrians outside the affected spaces. Storm cleanup removes fallen wood and addresses remaining broken limbs before the area returns to use.
- Low branches over walks: Direct pedestrians around branches blocking a walkway. Clearance pruning addresses the interfering growth above walks, parking spaces and routes used by delivery vehicles.
- Dead ash or failing trees: Keep residents clear of loose limbs along common ground or a property line. Commercial tree removal addresses trees that your technician determines need taking down.
- Branches against a building: Keep staff off roofs and away from damaged limbs. Pruning separates branches from roofing, gutters or signs after your tree pro checks the tree and access.
- Stumps from earlier removals: Keep foot traffic away from uneven ground around an old stump. Grinding addresses the remaining wood, with chip handling and ground finishing specified separately.
- Overgrown lot edges: Keep maintenance staff clear of hanging growth behind the building. Clearing addresses unwanted brush and trees along the agreed fence line or lot boundary.
Leave tree work to trained tree workers, rather than assigning the job to maintenance staff.
Tree Work Planned Around Property Use
Keep the affected area closed while the tree work needed to reopen it is assessed.
| Option | When it fits | What it involves |
|---|---|---|
| Make it safe now | Broken or hanging limbs block a shared area. | Trained tree workers remove damaged limbs and clear debris so the affected area can reopen safely. |
| Prune for clearance | Branches crowd walks, drives, parking spaces or roofs. | Selected pruning creates clearance while accounting for the tree's condition and surrounding property use. |
| Remove the tree | A dead, split or failing tree needs removal. | The removal plan accounts for buildings, neighboring property, wires and space for handling the wood. |
| Grind the stumps and clean up | Remaining stumps interrupt use of common ground. | Grinding, chip removal and the agreed ground finish address the space left after tree removal. |
Your tree pro decides on site which option fits the tree, the surroundings and the property's access needs.

Commercial Tree Service FAQs
Can I call the same number for commercial properties and homes?
Yes, call the same number for tree work at commercial properties and homes. Keep people away from damaged limbs and call about the location, whether you manage an apartment community or need work at your own home. Removal, pruning, storm cleanup and stump grinding can be discussed during the call.
Which kinds of commercial properties are covered?

What should a manager do when storm limbs land on a parking lot?
Keep people and cars out of the affected parking spaces and call about the fallen limbs. Place cones or tape only from a safe position, away from hanging branches. Treat any downed wire as live, stay well away and call the utility or 911 for an emergency; leave anything touching wires alone.
Can maintenance staff take care of damaged trees themselves?

What records should a property manager or HOA board keep?
Keep the written work scope, receipts, photos taken from a safe distance and a simple tree log. Identify each tree by its position on the property and record the work date. Finished site photos can document cleanup after the area reopens. Ask about work notes during your call so the paperwork fits the property's records.
