Trees are components of the infrastructure much like any other. They need upkeep in a human setting to function as we would like. To be clear, trees can thrive without human assistance and will usually grow nicely on their own. But taking good care of trees is crucial in a regulated area.

It is highly recommended that you get advice from an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA)-certified arborist if you are working on a tree. Arborists with ISA certification are masters in tree health and maintenance. ISA-certified arborists can assist you in determining whether your trees are healthy, require any care, or have become harmful, even though many businesses advertise that they provide tree services.

Generally speaking, it's a good idea to have an arborist inspect your trees every five years and prune any dead, diseased, or dying branches. The ISA offers a wealth of materials to assist tree owners in caring for their trees.

Invasive vines, such as ivy, can cause significant harm to trees and even premature mortality when they climb over them, suffocating the trees and causing the bark to decay. This pamphlet describes the problem and provides (quite simple) instructions on how to save your trees.
