Why Routine Tree Trimming Is Essential This Summer

Tree trimming and pruning isn’t just for the rich and fancy yards. Your trees bring lush greenery to your landscape and practical shade when you want some outdoor relaxation. Keeping your trees in good health and condition requires professional tree care. Our tree experts recommend hiring us for trimming every spring or summer. Read on to learn more about the reasons why.

Removes Safety Hazards

Broken, cracked, and hollow limbs are more prone to falling, especially during storms and windy conditions. Our tree experts examine your tree and identify loose or damaged branches that require removal for safety reasons. After trimming, you face a lower risk of injury or damage to your home from falling branches.

Promotes Growth and Nutrition

Dying or diseased parts of your trees may require more nutrients than other limbs. When this happens, those sections may take in so much of the tree’s nutrition that other areas suffer. Our tree experts identify these nutrient-stealing areas and trim them back, leaving the rest of the tree in better overall health. Additionally, trimming overgrown branches from the top of the tree allows more sunlight through, adding to healthy growth below.

Prevents Death and Disease

Along with boosting health through nutrition, we can help prevent death from diseases when we trim your trees. Our arborists inspect your trees as we prune. We look for signs of disease, such as rot. If your tree has a disease, we can formulate a plan for a cure. Part of this plan may include trimming back affected areas to decrease the diseased portion and promote healthy regrowth.

Helps With Pest Control

Rodents and insects love taking up homes in your trees. When our tree experts trim your trees, we also look for signs of pest infestation. If we find pests or damage caused by pests, we can strategically prune the trees and take away their homes. Trimming back limbs can also prevent pests from spreading to your roof.

Boosts Visual Appeal

Neat and tidy trees look so much better than erratic and overgrown trees. With careful and skilled trimming, we can make your trees look majestic and beautiful. This elevated visual appearance helps boost curb appeal and can even lead to an increase in property value.
