Four Benefits of Tree Trimming and Pruning

February 19, 2020

We love our trees, but sometimes we don’t do enough to show it. The reality is, most people don’t consider professional tree trimming services until overgrown or damaged branches jeopardize the safety of their property. Tree trimming and pruning services aren’t meant to be rescue operations, and they provide many benefits for trees and property owners, alike. In today’s post, we are going to discuss four benefits of tree trimming and pruning. If you are looking for professional tree care, Pro Tree Service is here to help.

Now, let’s take a look at the four benefits of tree trimming and pruning.

1. Removing Dead Or Damaged Branches

Let’s start with the obvious one. Removing dead and damaged branches that are posing safety or property damage risks is usually the reason that people call professional tree service providers — but sometimes it can be too late. What if your provider can’t get there for a few days? What if the powerful Chicago winds bring the branches crashing down on your neighbors car before your appointment? What if they bring them down on your neighbor? These are serious risks that can be avoided by proactively scheduling tree trimming and pruning services throughout the life of your tree. Contact Pro Tree Service today to schedule a free consultation!

2. Preventing Structural Issues from Developing

Professional tree trimming and pruning helps young trees grow a strong central stem. Think of the central stem as the spine of the tree. The strength and integrity of the central stem is critical to a tree’s overall health and structural development, and it can prevent many issues as the tree ages and gets bigger. The bigger a tree is going to get, the more important it is to ensure that it is healthy, upright, and solidly rooted in the ground when it reaches maturity.

3. Stimulating Growth

As trees grow, some shoots and branches naturally become stronger than the rest. The longer that trees go without being pruned or trimmed, the harder it is for minor shoots and other parts of the tree to compete for nutrients. Trees thrive when all of their parts grow together, and trimming back the dominant shoots stimulates growth in all of the weaker areas — causing accelerated growth.

4. Helping Your Tree Look Its Best

Trimming and pruning offer many health benefits for your trees, but they also provide aesthetic benefits for your home or business. Pruning shapes the canopy of your tree and increases its overall appearance. If you have multiple trees, pruning your trees to be the same size and shape can give your property a clean, uniform look.
