Why Should I Trim My Trees?
Here are some of the most common reasons to keep your trees trimmed:
Health. When you trim your trees, you keep them in optimal health. A failure to remove dying branches, or branches with disease can actually cause the spread of decay. Trimming will keep the tree from getting too dense at the top, and allowing the sun and air to circulate. This keeps the branches below happy and healthy.
Appearance. When branches have overgrown and are sloping down, it can begin to grow into the fence, onto the house, into other trees. It has a way of making everything look unsightly and unkept. Trimming allows the tree to not only look its best, but to also enhance its surroundings, and the area around your property.
Safey. A tree that is allowed to grow completely untouched will often grow into places that is shouldn’t, like power lines, into other’s property, too close to the house, etc. Another problematic aspect of uncontrolled trees is the collection of dead and dying branches. This increases the likelihood of falling branches during high winds or storms. Pruning things back is the best way to prevent these problems before they start.
Shape. Pruning back a tree helps to shape the way it grows. This is especially true when it is still young. However, even after a tree has begun to mature, it can still be guided to grow in a way that is healthy.

What Does Tree Trimming Involve?
When we come to your property to trim your trees, we’ll most likely be focusing on one or several of these techniques:
1) Thinning. Thinning is simply when we prune away the weaker branches towards the top of the tree. Often a tree can become a bit top-heavy. This is a problem, because it keeps the sunlight and air from getting to the other parts of the tree. When we do thinning, we are helping the tree to breathe and to get the nutrients that it needs.
2) Crown Reduction. Crown Reduction is an important tree trimming technique. It focuses on preventing the tree from growing too much to one side, in a crooked or asymmetrical direction. For example, if a tree has grown too thick on one side, and continues growing in that direction, it can become too heavy to support. Crown reduction keeps this from happening.
3) Crown Restoration. There are times when trimming may be the only way to save a struggling tree. In this scenario, a tree that has become very damaged may have to be trimmed or pruned back quite severely. This is a last effort to try and save the tree. It is done as a reset technique, and can be useful in some instances.
If you think that you may have some trees that need to be trimmed, or possibly removed, reach out to us by email or by phone, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
