Most homeowners do not give a second thought to their trees until they have an issue. They are merely present, providing shade and making the yard feel alive, while growing each year. However, trees will go through changes throughout their lives. If you do not take care of them, minor issues may become serious issues.
Because of this, a dependable tree service is more important than most people realize. An arborist does not just cut branches; they provide for your overall safety, health, and enjoyment of your outdoor living area.
Creating a Safer Yard
You can walk down any street in any neighborhood after a strong storm, and you will find broken branches all over the driveway. Most of the broken branches did not fall due to chance; they had weak spots that nobody noticed. The weakness of branches occurs as decay develops, split limbs occur, and root problems develop. These issues develop slowly and generally out of view.
A professional can identify the warning signs of potential issues with your trees. It may be a hollowed-out section of the trunk. It may be a slight lean of the tree that has developed since last year. Identifying the potential issues with your trees early can prevent:
- Damage to roofs or fences
- Unexpected branch drops
- Trees falling toward homes or power lines
A regular inspection can make your yard safer for everyone.
Improving the Look of Your Property
Trees that have been trimmed properly can really impact how your house feels. Prune with care to bring light into areas that were once very dark, help people see your home better, and clean up your yard. But don’t think that just because it looks good, that is the only thing about tree trimming. Trimming affects the way a tree grows for many years.
A professional arborist knows what to do to grow a tree with less stress on the tree while using techniques to develop the tree. This results in something that appears to be naturally developed as opposed to overcut. Your beautifully maintained trees are going to make a world of difference when it comes to curb appeal, or simply if you spend a lot of time outside.
Keeping Trees Healthy for the Long Run
Tree health can be tricky. Some problems hide under the bark or deep in the roots, and homeowners don’t usually realize something is wrong until the leaves start dropping or branches stop growing.
Arborists know the signs of:
- Fungal infections
- Root and soil problems
- Boring insects and pest damage
- Stress from heat or lack of nutrients
Addressing issues early can save a tree that might otherwise decline. It’s a lot like taking a pet to the vet, regular checkups help prevent bigger problems later.
When a Tree Needs to Be Removed
At times, a tree cannot be preserved. Trees may die from within due to decay; they are leaning to the point of becoming a hazard; or they are dead. The process of removing a tree safely requires more than a saw, it requires experience, equipment, and planning.
A qualified crew can remove large trees and do so without causing damage to surrounding property (i.e., homes) or destroying your yard. Additionally, they will perform clean-up services for you and can grind the stump so that you may utilize the space once again. This type of work is generally less expensive and safer when performed by professionals.
Saving Money Through Simple Maintenance
Many individuals believe that tree service is very costly. However, most of the time, the costs associated with the maintenance of your trees are significantly lower than what you would have to pay to address an emergency.
A fallen limb can cause significant damage to your vehicle’s windshield. Disease in your trees can spread to the other plants and trees in your yard. Neglecting your trees can result in higher repair bills than the costs of maintaining your trees regularly.
