Trimming and pruning your trees is important. Your trees need to be
trimmed to help maintain their beauty, keep them healthy, keep them the correct
size for the surrounding environment, and most importantly to keep them safe to
you, your property, and everything else around them.
Although trimming and pruning may seem simple enough, without the proper tools,
techniques, and experience you can actually do more harm than good. First and
foremost, tree work can be very dangerous. With or without the proper training,
you are at the mercy of a very powerful force. An incorrect cut could send you
to the hospital. This is the biggest reason to hire a professional to do the
work for you. We have been trained and safety is our biggest issue. Of course
there are other reasons than that. For example, by making incorrect cuts you can
cause irreparable damage to your tree. The wrong cut can cause rotting and decay
which weakens the structure of the tree and makes it unsafe and more susceptible
to disease.
Timing is also important. For example, you don’t want to do any trimming on Oak
trees between April and June. Trimming Oak trees during these months make it
more susceptible to Oak Wilt (a life threatening disease of Oak trees). Another
is American Elm, they shouldn't be trimmed May through July when DED (dutch elm
disease) is flying about.
These are just a few of the many reasons why you should hire a professional to
maintain your trees. You’re guaranteed that we’ll do the job the proper way at
the proper time to help ensure a long, beautiful, and safe life for your trees.
