No matter if you own a commercial or residential property, maintaining healthy trees is essential to creating a safe and attractive landscape. Regular tree trimming can promote growth, eliminate insects, reduce the risk for disease and storm damage and even increase the value of your property. But when is the best time to trim your trees?
It's less expensive to maintain a healthy tree than it is to repair or remove one that has died or fallen on your property. This preventative maintenance will save you money and keep your yard safe and beautiful for many years.
Damaged or dead branches can pose a danger to your family, customers or guests. They are also more likely to fall off during bad weather, which can cause serious injuries or damage to your home and property. During regular trimmings, your arborist will inspect the health of your trees and remove any dead or decaying branches before they become a problem.
Preventative maintenance can also help keep your trees strong and healthy, which will extend their lifespan. When branches are left unattended, they can become brittle and weak, leading to disease and insect infestation. A professional can safely and efficiently trim any branches growing too close to power lines or your home.
Trimming can also help your garden and yard thrive by allowing sunlight to reach grass, flowers and other plants below the canopy of your trees. Overgrown branches can block sunlight and prevent moisture from reaching the ground, which can inhibit plant growth. By removing dead and dying branches, your trees can get the sunlight they need to thrive.
Crown reduction is different from cleaning and thinning. It involves reducing the size of the crown through the removal of large limbs, as well as limbs that compete with each other or block views. This service can be performed at any time of year, but it is most effective during the winter months when trees are dormant.
