What Are The Benefits of Tree Maintenance?
Improves Tree Appearance
– Your grass and flowerbeds look great but your trees could often be overlooked. Trees require regular care just like the rest of your landscape to live their full lives.
Improves Tree Structure and Health
– Pruning can control how the tree grows. Health improves when you “train” the tree to redirect growth to its strongest parts.
Natural Air Flow and More Sunlight
– A properly trimmed tree will open up your yard and ground vegetation to more sunlight improving the overall health of your landscape.
Disease/Insect Infestations Resistance
– Trees can also get sick. Proper pruning can strengthen a tree’s immune system, improving its ability to withstand disease. If sick already pruning can help control the spread of disease or infestation.
Preventing Property Damage or Injury
– Pruning keeps limbs healthy and strong. Weak branches are a result of not pruning, these weaker branches are more likely to break and causing property damage.
Do Your Trees Need Pruning?
Signs that Indicate Your Trees Need Pruning:
- Does the upper part of tree, or canopy, look crowded indicating that there are potential structural weaknesses that need to be addressed?
- Are there dead limbs or branches with no leaves or needles?
- Are there longer limbs extending beyond the canopy that look like they could break off?
- Are limbs resting on your roof or other structures?
These conditions all have the potential to inhibit healthy tree growth.
