Trees are one of the most beautiful things that you can have on your property. They provide you shade and can enhance your landscape. But along with beauty and shade, trees bring you some responsibility. One of the best things that you can do for your trees is to have them pruned on a regular basis. Below are some of the benefits of tree pruning.
5 Benefits of Tree Pruning
- Keeps Trees Healthy – Pruning your trees can help with keeping your trees healthy. Removing dying, diseased, or dead branches will help your tree to retain its health in the other parts of the tree. Not only that, but when you prune your trees, it encourages the growth of healthy, new branches and leaves.
- Appearance – Pruning your trees will improve the appearance of your trees. Overgrown, hanging branches can look unsightly and hurt your landscape’s look. When your tree is well-maintained, it creates a good impression.
- Sunlight – When your trees are pruned it allows adjacent plants to get the sunlight they need. When branches are overgrown, they shade that area right below them. This will make the area unfit to use for planting. When you remove the branches, existing and new plants will thrive below the trees.
- Risks are Reduced – Pruning your trees will reduce the possibility of accidents happening. When you don’t prune your trees properly, it can damage power lines, vehicles below the trees, and even damage buildings nearby. Even worse, it could injure someone who is walking beneath it.
- Shape – When you prune young trees, it helps with shaping them. it results in the young trees having a good structure to their branches and it also can compensate when there is root loss.
Now that we know why it’s a good idea to have your trees pruned, let’s look at why you want to have a tree removed.
3 Common Reasons for Tree Removal
- Damage – Sometimes a tree is damaged beyond repair and simply pruning your tree won’t help it. This is when removing the tree is a better idea than simple pruning.
- Disease – Sometimes a tree has been damaged with disease and leaving allowing it to stay can cause the disease to spread to other trees. So, removing the tree can protect your other trees.
- Danger – A lot of trees get removed because they are too dangerous to leave standing. For example, if a tree is very old and leaning, someone who is walking below the tree might be injured if it falls over. Or, if a huge storm comes along, it could blow the tree over. Removing the tree removes the risk.
