4 Reasons Your Trees Need Pruning

Beyond keeping those low-hanging branches from creeping over your porch or driveway, proper tree pruning has far greater benefits that result in a safe, healthy, and attractive landscape.

Proper tree pruning will:

• Enhance your trees’ natural form and strength: Regular pruning, especially when started at a young age, helps the tree grow correctly and promotes a strong infrastructure. Strong trees are more healthy and less susceptible to weather damage.
• Better your trees’ overall health: Plant health focuses on removing dead, dying, and diseased branches, branches that rub together, and any branch stubs so that the entire tree continues to grow healthily. Opening the canopy to let light and air filter throughout the entire tree allows for increased foliage while decreasing the risk of diseases.
• Upgrade your trees’ overall appearance: Stronger form and good plant health result in an overall great-looking tree. A strong form leads to a beautiful, majestic shape, and good plant health means increased foliage production.
• Improve your landscape’s safety: Weak trees and a buildup of dead branches and debris are far more susceptible to falling during high winds, heavy rain and snowfall, and ice buildup. Anything underneath and around the tree is at risk of getting hurt or damaged if the tree falls.

When To Schedule Tree Pruning Service

Most homeowners prune branches when they obstruct the driveway, sidewalk, porch, or other areas. But there are other signs that indicate a tree could use some pruning:

• Weak, dead, or diseased branches: Sometimes, these are difficult to spot, but if the branches produce few or no leaves or are cracked and scraggly, they likely need to be pruned.
• Crossing branches and overgrowth: Branches should not rest on each other as that could lead to decay. In general, dense growth is also harmful to the tree. You should be able to see through the tree, which ensures there is proper airflow for health and foliage production.
• Branches near a power line: Branches near power lines can be especially dangerous. Directional pruning from a certified arborist leaves trees healthier and does not require as frequent of service as traditional shearing, which cuts back the entire crown of the tree.

DIY pruning of large trees can be dangerous. If you can’t remember the last time your trees were pruned, it’s likely they need it. Begin a free consultation by calling 612-721-4153 or contacting us online.
