Tree Trimming and Pruning Matters
Tree trimming and pruning is not just about making your trees look good it's critical to the tree’s health and the safety of your property. Regular trimming and pruning help remove dead or diseased branches, improve tree structure, and encourage healthy growth. According to the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), proper pruning can extend a tree's lifespan by removing limbs that are dead, weakened, or diseased before they can affect the rest of the tree. Failing to maintain your trees can lead to several problems. Overgrown branches can become hazardous, especially during storms, when they are more likely to break and fall. The U.S. Forest Service reports that falling trees and branches cause over $1 billion in property damage each year in the United States. Proper trimming and pruning reduce this risk by maintaining the tree’s structural integrity and removing potential hazards before they become dangerous.
