What Are The Benefits Of Tree Trimming?
There are many benefits to trimming and pruning your lovely trees. The safety side of trimming is to allow proper air flow. Without proper trimming on larger trees, they can grow wild with crossing branches and other factors that can create a wind sail effect during storms or windy conditions.
If left unkempt, the trees can be more susceptible to damage due to high winds and storms putting much greater pressures on the branches and the tree itself. However proper trimming can allow a large percentage of that force to easily pass through the foliage.
Tree health is another main concern when trimming. If some branches of the tree are diseased or get infested with pests, if taken care of early enough you can prevent the spread to the rest of the tree. However if left un treated, the disease or pests can easily continue to spread until the only proper action is to resort to complete tree removal. This is important because disease and pests can spread to nearby trees or worse your home, and no one wants pests or mites in their home!
​
Although it's imperative to hire someone with industry specific experience to ensure there's no negative impact to the health of the tree when trimming or pruning. We certainly don't encourage tree topping because it will leave the tree susceptible to disease and possible death.
Crown thinning or removing a calculated percent of branches to open the canopy to light and air allows a large tree to truly blossom.
The importance of tree trimming in Webster, NY is evident due to health and safety, but sometimes trimming is more about unobstructed views or creating the perfect ambiance. Trees give us so much it's important we give back to them and keep them as healthy as possible!
