Tree Services To Keep Your Trees At Their Best

Blog

If you have trees on your property, it is your responsibility to have them routinely evaluated by a tree service company. Tree evaluations and maintenance are not only about aesthetics and enjoyment of the trees on your property, but they're also a way to reduce the instance of injury to you or those around you. 

Pruning

Having the trees on your property pruned regularly serves many functions. The most important aspect is safety. When an arborist prunes trees, they are foremost concerned with encouraging the tree to grow in a particular manner. The goal is to encourage branches to not grow into power lines or in another way that would be unsafe. Both diseased and weak branches can be a safety hazard, but simply having branches growing over your home or your neighbor's home can be a potential hazard, as well. Pruning can also be used to help a tree with disease or infestation begin its journey to improved health. Trees that are intended to grow fruit or flowers may need regular pruning to encourage the tree to make fruit or flowers.

Health Management

Unhealthy trees are a serious threat to life and property. These trees are more likely to lose branches or become uprooted for simple reasons. Often the easiest way to deal with an unhealthy tree is to have it removed, but there may be instances where you want to try and rehab a tree. A tree that is uncommon, old, or has some other significance, such as emotional meaning, is often worth trying to rehab. Among the most common health issues with trees are disease, infestation, and damage. There are usually signs that a tree is ill and it may not be obvious to the average person. A tree might turn unusual colors, have damaged leaves, or have a strange growth on the trunk. Bringing a tree back to full health, if possible, makes the tree safer. Strong, stable trees are less likely to drop branches or become uprooted and cause injury or damage.

Removal

There are instances when tree removal is the best option. If you have trees on your property, they should be routinely evaluated to determine if they need to be removed. Oftentimes, it is simply easier and less expensive to remove a large tree than to have to continuously monitor its health and be concerned about it causing damage at some point in the future. Although you might want to salvage a particular tree, there can be diseases or damage that is beyond repair or it would take an inordinate amount of time and work to rehab the tree.

Routine tree service is a basic part of being a responsible property owner. Keeping the trees on your property healthy or having them removed can reduce the risk of a catastrophe.
