If you have a tree that you think may be hazardous, seek professional help from an ISA Certified Arborist at American Arborists. Our consultations are free, so you have nothing to lose. It could save a life, along with avoiding property damage or lawsuits. Read more about what warning signs to watch out for here.

What is SUDM?

 

SUDM is a means for an HOA community, park or business to track the maintenance of the urban forest based on a plan to improve the health and longevity of plants on the property while reducing the long-term costs associated with maintaining these financially beneficial assets. This proactive approach to forest management improves the overall quality of the trees by addressing problems before they are unmanageable. Common objectives may include safety, shade, aesthetics, and increasing property value. A sustainable urban forest should be free of hazards and maintain healthy clearance for all buildings, fences, walkways, and drives. We evaluate each of our SUDM clients’ forests annually.

 

Why SUDM is Important to Your Community?

 

It helps to improve the health and safety of an urban forest while lowering tree care and replacement costs, something a landscaper can’t and doesn’t do. As ISA Certified Arborists, we possess a deeper understanding of tree biology and soil science than that of your average landscaper. We are experts at recognizing and correcting environmental stresses whether they are caused by pH imbalances or macro and micro nutrient deficiencies. We recommend treatment solutions to ensure a healthy forest for years to come. Our comprehensive tree care approach has helped to significantly reduce annual tree care costs associated with preserving and extending the useful life off trees and shrubs for many of our commercial clients, including: University of Nevada, Lakeridge Shores, Somerset, Lakeridge Terrace, The Foothills at Wingfield Springs and Donner Creek Condominiums to name a few.

 

Our Goal is to be proactive so we can save you money, and keep you safe.

 

Our goal is in minimizing the negative impact of poorly planned previous plantings (trees currently too close to structures and/or walk-ways) and establishing a healthy, low maintenance tree-scape that can be sustained for several years to come. We can create a long or short-term personalized plan for your community which can include some or all of these professional services:
