Tree Trimming

If you’re in need of tree services, it can range from complete tree removal to stump grinding or simple tree trimming. If you’re opting for trimming the trees around your property, there are a few things to know. First, keep in mind that it's almost always ideal to trim or prune your trees when they are dormant. You can do some tree trimming any time of the year but doing so while they are dormant will keep your trees happy and healthy when spring arrives. When it comes to cutting branches, be aware of their sizes. Ideally, tree trimming should only take place on smaller branches unless they are rotting or diseased. Branches with a diameter of 10 centimeters or more should be kept intact unless they’re a threat to your roof or other parts of your property.

​

When hiring tree services, make sure that they only trim branches that are weak or that have narrow angles. Branches with strong, U-shaped angles are likely healthy and should be kept whenever possible. The ratio of the living crown to tree height should be approximately two-thirds after the tree trimming is complete. If you want to prune more branches, it is best to do this when they are young. Trimming young branches will make them easier to manage, and there’s a smaller risk of leaving unsightly scars behind. So, why should you hire pros for your tree services? These experts know exactly what to look for when it comes to trimming your trees. Their goal is to make sure you’re happy and that your trees are happy, too. If a branch is trimmed too closely, it can make the tree vulnerable to disease and other damage. Don’t leave your tree trimming to just anyone.
