Tree maintenance is an application of arboric methods such as pruning, pruning, and logging/thinning in the built environment. Road verges, greenways, backyards and woodland vegetation parks are at the center of attention for the tree care industry. Urban landscape and forestry architecture also sets high demands on professional tree maintenance. High standards of safety against tree maintenance hazards have helped the industry grow. Particularly logging in a limited space environment poses a significant risk: around power or telephone lines, inadequate protective equipment (against crushed dead wood, saw wounds, etc.) And a narrow logging zone with near-threatened buildings nearby, car parking, etc. equipment and experience required typically go beyond personal means and are often considered too expensive as a permanent part of the public infrastructure. In single cases, traditional tools such as whipsaws may be sufficient, but large-scale tree maintenance usually requires heavy equipment such as cranes, bucket trucks, harvests, and wood cutters.
Roadside trees are particularly vulnerable to biotic pressures by exhaust fumes, toxic road debris, soil compaction, and drought that make them vulnerable to fungal infections and various plant pests. When tree felling is not an option, due to road ecological considerations, the main challenge is to achieve road safety (visibility of road signs, freeways, etc.) while maintaining the health of trees.

While the risk of death felt by falling trees (part of the complex "tree risk") is influenced by the media and often hyped (objective risk has been reported to be close to 1: 10,000,000, almost as low as death by lightning), single events have encouraged a "proactive "so that even lightly damaged trees are likely to be removed in urban and public traffic environments. As the age of the tree and near the end of a safe useful life expectancy (SULE), it is felt the value of comfort greatly decreases. Risk assessment is usually done by the local council arborist to determine the best course of action. As with all public green spaces, trees in green urban space and their careful conservation are sometimes at odds with aggressive urban development although it is often understood how urban trees contribute to the viability of suburban life and cities objective (reduction of urban heat island effect, etc.) and subjectively. The tree planting program is implemented by a growing number of cities, local councils and organizations that reduce losses and in many cases increase the number of trees in the suburbs. The program includes planting 2 trees for every 1 tree removed, while some councils pay landowners to keep trees away from removing them for farming or construction.

Standard
AS
The voluntary industry consensus standard developed by TCIA, produces the ANSI A300 standard, the generally accepted industry standard for tree maintenance practices including trees, shrubs and other woody plants. This includes the following sections:
- Trim
- Ground management
- Additional support systems
- Lightning protection system
- Management
- Planting and grafting
- Integrated vegetation management
- The root management standard
- Tree risk assessment
- Integrated pest management
