When your trees are not properly trimmed, they can grow too close to power lines or buildings. Often, branches that have been damaged or simply become too heavy for the tree to support can become dangerous. If they fall, they can hurt people, animals, or damage cars and buildings. Tree trimming also encourages new growth, which is important to the good health of the tree itself.
When professionals trim your trees, they can also diagnose any diseases or other issues that your trees might have before it becomes a larger problem and spreads further on the tree or trees close to it. Lastly, but still important, trimming your trees will make them more attractive by improving the tree’s structure.
Young trees should be trimmed annually until they are about five years old. This helps shape them and keep them healthy during their younger years so that they will thrive and become adult trees. Once they are mature, every five to ten years should be sufficient, unless there has been damage to them due to a storm or other accident.
