The health of your trees is important. They are part of the investment you have made in your home and your property. Maintaining them just like you would any part of your home should be a priority. But no one expects you to be an expert—that’s what professionals are for. Tree trimming by professional arborists—like the ones at Prestige Tree Experts—will help maintain the health and life of your trees for years to come. Reduce the spread of disease, prevent potential storm damage, and ensure the safety of the people and the property you love by thinning live branches and removing dead branches.
If you’re unsure if a tree needs to be trimmed, contact Prestige Tree Experts, and we can walk you through signs your tree should be trimmed and offer a free consultation to review all of our tree trimming services.
Signs Your Tree Should Be Trimmed
Tree trimming should be part of a regular maintenance schedule with a professional arborist like the ones at Prestige Tree Experts. There are many distinctive signs that your tree needs trimming, either immediately or on a regular maintenance basis.
Here are some signs that your tree should be trimmed:
- You have noticeably broken branches – Branches could be starting to bow or hanging on by a thread. Because the branch is clearly in a weakened state, it should be addressed as soon as possible. It’s good practice to take a visual assessment of the trees on your property following a significant storm.
- Tree limbs look dead or diseased – As a non-expert, you may not know what signs indicate a serious disease issue, but if something doesn’t look right to you, then it’s time to consult a professional. Look for spots and cracks on branches that seem to be barren of leaves.
- Overcrowded branches – A branch that is clustered with others and either crosses over others or is crossed over by them can be weak. Because of the crowding, some branches may not get as much light or other nutrients. Thinning and trimming out these branches ensures none of them bow or snap.
- Utility lines close by – Take particular notice of where your power lines are. If they are close to trees on your property, then making sure branches don’t interfere with those utility lines can be the difference between your street losing power or not. In this case, a professional has to do this kind of work.
- You’ve incurred recent storm damage – If you’re not sure if your trees were damaged in a recent storm, don’t leave yourself guessing. Have professionals assess your trees for peace of mind and quick action if it’s needed.
