Why Seattle Property Managers Work with Certified Arborists | Tree Risk Experts
Reduce Liability • Ensure Compliance • Preserve Property Value
Managing properties in Seattle and Burien goes far beyond bricks and mortar. Trees — while beautiful and valuable — can quickly become liabilities if they’re not managed proactively. That’s why smart property managers are partnering with ISA Certified Arborists to reduce risk, stay compliant, and maintain curb appeal.
๐ฒ Tree Risks: The Hidden Threats on Your Property
Neglected trees can cause:
- Falling branches that damage vehicles or injure tenants
- Root systems that crack sidewalks or underground pipes
- Diseased or unstable trees that fail during storms
- Fines and penalties for violating Seattle’s tree protection ordinance
โ ๏ธ One unmanaged tree can lead to emergency work, legal exposure, or insurance claims.๏ปฟ๏ปฟ

๐ง๐ผ Real-World Application: Bennett Property Management Trusts Us With Their Portfolio
Bennett Property Management, a trusted Seattle-based firm, manages a wide range of rental properties that demand consistent, risk-conscious care. When they needed a proactive tree management strategy, they turned to our certified arborist team.
In this project, we conducted a Level 1 Visual Tree Assessment at one of their Seattle properties. Using our ISA-certified approach, we:
- Identified tree health concerns and structural defects through an on-site inspection
- Documented risk levels in accordance with industry-standard methodologies
- Provided clear, actionable recommendations for maintenance and mitigation
- Delivered a detailed, report-backed assessment they could rely on for both compliance and decision-making
