Property managers and HOA boards with ongoing tree care needs benefit from annual service contracts rather than managing individual jobs. A service contract with Martin Tree and Turf Care provides: a fixed annual price for budgeting, priority scheduling ahead of one-time accounts, a spring arborist assessment with written findings, and a permanent record of all work performed. Our ISA Certified Arborist (#SO-356834A) signs off on every assessment.
What an Annual Tree Service Contract Includes
Standard annual contracts for commercial accounts include: a spring site walk and written arborist assessment of all trees within the contract scope; scheduled maintenance pruning of agreed tree populations; priority emergency response (typically within 2–4 hours of a call for contracted accounts during business hours; 24/7 for documented hazard situations); quarterly or semi-annual follow-up walks for large properties; and a written summary of all work performed and findings for annual records. The spring assessment is the foundation — it identifies risk-rated trees, deferred maintenance needs, and the scope of seasonal work so the pricing is accurate and the board or manager is not surprised.
How Contract Pricing Works
Contract pricing is based on a site walk that establishes: total tree count and species inventory within scope, current deferred maintenance, any immediate hazards requiring priority attention, and the anticipated seasonal workload. We provide a written annual contract with a fixed price and itemized scope. Emergency removals outside the contract scope are quoted separately at the time of the event. Most commercial accounts find the annual contract costs less than managing the equivalent work through individual quotes — scheduled visits spread crew mobilization, the biggest fixed cost on any job, across the year instead of paying it call by call.
Documentation and Vendor Compliance
Martin Tree and Turf Care meets standard vendor compliance requirements for property management portfolios and commercial facilities: general liability certificate of insurance ($1M/$2M available on request), workers compensation documentation, W9 on request, and job completion documentation formatted for property management systems. We can be added to vendor management platforms and submit documentation through property management portals.
