TREE AND PLANT HEALTH CARE
Tree and plant healthcare is an important aspect of commercial landscape maintenance here in the Midwest. To ensure your commercial landscaping is always in optimal condition, ICON has tree and plant healthcare plans in place to keep your property both healthy and visually appealing. We work closely with our clients to understand your landscape’s long-term goals and maintenance needs while incorporating unique plans and practices to combat the environmental challenges that come along with our ever-changing environment.
Trimming and Pruning
Promoting healthy growth through regular trimming is vital for your commercial landscape. Trimming not only strengthens the trees and creates a healthier structure but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of your lawn. Our team of arborists possesses the knowledge, training, and proper equipment to ensure a cohesive and unified appearance for the trees and shrubs throughout your property.
Pruning plays a crucial role in the care of trees and shrubs. The skilled ICON crew is trained to prune in a way that promotes plant health on your commercial property. Late dormant season pruning allows for the shaping and growth adjustment of plants, correcting potential issues during their formative years. Pruning also acts as preventive maintenance, addressing both insect and disease damage. Our crew removes dead or dying branches, branches injured by disease or pests, branches that rub together, and branch stubs, ensuring proper pruning techniques.
Why is pruning important?
Pruning for maintenance purposes encourages flower development, maintains dense hedges, and promotes desired plant forms in a commercial landscape.
Maintaining a pleasing appearance in the landscape is vital for plant usefulness. In most cases, a plant’s natural form is preferred. Avoid excessive shearing into tight geometrical shapes unless necessary for specific purposes. Proper pruning improves plant appearance, controls size and shape, and keeps shrubby evergreens well-proportioned and dense while removing unwanted branches that detract from the plant’s overall beauty.
Insect and Disease Management
Insect and disease management are crucial aspects of lawn and landscape maintenance. At ICON, our commercial landscape experts are skilled in effectively eliminating and controlling invasive species on your lawn. Commercial pest control is essential, as not all plant damage is caused by weeds. Animals, wind, and hail can also harm plants in Minnesota. It is crucial to have a commercial landscape provider educated in distinguishing between lawn and garden damage caused by pests and other natural causes
ICON offers various forms of pest control to ensure proper treatment and preventive measures are taken to maintain your property. With extensive experience in working with different types of commercial lawn environments, we provide long-term preventative measures to combat and prevent harmful insects and diseases. Some commercial buildings may be more susceptible to pests due to their location or other factors. We take pride in partnering with our commercial clients to offer rapid and customized commercial pest control solutions.
Landscape Removal Services
When trees and stumps become hazardous, dangerous, or invasive additions to your commercial property, ICON is here to help. Our owned and operated equipment and trained personnel is equipped and prepared to safely remove these potentially dangerous landscape features.
Our Landscape Removal Services Include:
The decision to remove trees and shrubs may arise from environmental factors or concerns for safety and property protection. Removal can be necessary for
dead or hazardous trees, weak branches overhanging areas where people or property could be harmed, or plants that interfere with lights, wires, or block intersections. Our trained ICON crews assess and handle tree and shrub removal professionally and safely.
Need a stump removed? Our removal services include grinding down stumps and preparing the area to match the surrounding landscape.
Post-storm clean-up is not only a dangerous task but can create more harm than good if not handled properly. Trees that are brought down by a storm are often heavy in weight and can fall in areas on site that have heavy traffic and usage. The unpredictability of storms is no problem for the ICON team. We offer complete tree and brush removal of fallen trees on the ground or leaning against buildings, and leaf debris including branches that have fallen from storms.
