Your trees are a beautiful part of your landscaping. Unfortunately, it’s common to find dead or diseased branches on them. Something as simple as a decaying limb can lead to some pretty serious problems. That’s why it’s so important to schedule regular tree trimming and pruning.
Prevent Pest Infestation
Dead branches provide pests with a way to easily enter your tree. Without proper trimming, those dead branches can also provide the ideal environment for bacteria and fungi. By having us remove those branches, you’ll stop these problems.
Encourage Structural Integrity
Dead and diseased branches will weaken your tree’s structure. This makes the tree more vulnerable to storm damage. Also, dead branches add weight to the tree, which puts strain on its healthy portions. Removing decaying limbs distributes the weight more evenly, making the tree stronger.
Improve Safety
Since dead and diseased branches are more likely to fall, they’re a safety concern. When they come down, these limbs can damage property like your car or house, or they can cause serious injuries to anyone underneath the tree. Keep in mind that dead branches are usually the first to come down when the wind picks up. Even the weight of snow and ice can cause them to snap off and fall. This is why they need to be removed promptly.
Allow Nutrient Distribution
Your tree will use a lot of energy trying to help dead and diseased branches come back to life. This deprives healthier areas of the tree of essential food and water. Ignoring this problem will further harm the tree, as more and more branches will begin to die from a lack of nutrients. Once we remove decaying branches from your tree, it will focus its energy on creating new growth and keeping the remaining portions of the tree healthy rather than struggling with a lost cause.
Enhance Aesthetics
Removing those dead and diseased branches allows your tree to maintain a natural, beautiful shape. It will also look more attractive without that dead wood distracting from the tree’s appearance. As a result, you’ll be improving your curb appeal by allowing your trees to be a wonderful accent to your other landscaping. Best of all, this can increase your property value.
As you can see, removing dead and diseased branches from your trees will keep them healthy and durable. Thinning the canopy will allow more sunlight and air to reach the lower branches. This makes your trees strong and beautiful.
