What is an example of preventative maintenance?

Preventative maintenance includes activities that are performed regularly to prevent potential issues and ensure the longevity and functionality of property features and equipment. Tree trimming is a prime example of this because it involves removing dead or overgrown branches to promote the health of the tree and prevent damage to structures or landscaping from falling limbs.

By proactively trimming trees, one can avoid emergency situations where damage might occur due to fallen branches or overgrowth interfering with power lines, pathways, or other aspects of property maintenance. This approach not only enhances safety but can also lead to more cost-effective property management by minimizing the need for more extensive repairs or services later on.

Routine painting and cleaning gutters do contribute to maintenance but are often more focused on aesthetic improvements or reactive treatments to avoid water damage rather than preventative actions to maintain the health of the trees and overall landscaping.
