Tree trimming involves removing excess branches from your existing trees. Trimming your trees has several benefits – not only can it enhance the appearance of your property, but it can also aid in keeping your trees healthy and your yard safe.
Nature in itself is a wild beast and, unlike humans, trees don’t really care what they look like. From a visual standpoint though, people do care about the appearance of their yard. Trees grow how they grow. Trimming them can help them maintain a pleasing appearance and ensure their health for years to come.
Trimming your trees is also very important from both a safety and home protection aspect. Dead branches can fall and hurt someone in your yard. Sometimes a strong wind is enough to drop branches to the ground. In addition, keeping branches away from your house can keep intruders from gaining easy access to your home from an unnatural entrance, such a second story window.
Another reason to keep trees trimmed is to keep branches from hanging over and/or touching your roof. Leaves can get into the gutters and cause damage from water backup. Branches that hang directly over or onto the roof can cause severe damage to the roofing material and can also damage the roof or house structure itself. If not trimmed back, you may face permanent damage from moisture or loss of integrity to the outdoor materials of the house.
