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 and pruning can help promote growth, eliminate pests, reduce the risk of disease and storm damage, and even increase your property value. But when is the best time to trim your trees?
It is cheaper to maintain a healthy, growing tree than to remove or repair one that has fallen or died on your property. This preventative maintenance will save you money and keep your yard safe and beautiful for many years.
Dead and damaged branches can be a hazard for your family, guests or customers. They are more likely to fall during bad weather and cause serious injuries to you or damage to your property. Your arborist will examine the health of your tree and remove any decayed or dead branches during regular trimmings.
Preventative maintenance also helps keep your trees healthy and strong, which can 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 ground level. This can inhibit plant growth. By removing dead and dying branches, your trees can get the sunlight they need to thrive.
Unlike cleaning and thinning, crown reduction involves reducing the overall size of the crown by removing large limbs and removing limbs that are competing with each other or obstructing views. While this service can be done any time of the year, it is most effective in winter when trees are dormant and growth has slowed.
