About Me
Get to Know Your Local Trees

I'd always loved walking in forests and woodland areas, but I never really took the time to learn about the different species of tree — they all looked the same to me! That all changed when a relative gifted me a beautifully detailed book on local wildlife. From there, I was on a mission to learn all I could about trees, from oak to elm, beech to ash. I've set up this site to share my journey with you. Watch out for fun tree facts, tips on caring for trees on your property, and advice on tree planting and removal.

Tree Services: Reasons to Consider Tree Trimming

If you have trees on your property, it would be ideal to consider tree-trimming services. There are several tree trimming services that you could opt for. The first is fine pruning, which includes the elimination of tree limbs to enhance the attractiveness of your tree. The second is standard pruning, which is conducted to enhance the overall structure of the tree. Lastly, there is crown reduction pruning, which is conducted to reduce the overall size of the tree. Tree trimming can be both functional as well as for aesthetic purposes depending on your needs. Below are some of the reasons to consider tree services  like trimming.

Tree trimming will improve the health of your tree

As your tree grows, you will find that some of the limbs will succumb to decay and disease whereas others remain healthy. To prevent these limbs from causing property damage or physical harm when they fall off naturally, it would be best to seek tree-trimming services. In addition to preventing damage, the tree trimming will also ensure that the structure of the tree is enhanced, as there will not be any damaged limbs drooping, which would affect the overall appearance of the tree. Lastly, pruning away the decayed or diseased limbs in good time ensues that the rot does not spread to healthy parts of your tree.

Tree trimming enhances fruit production

If you have a fruiting tree on your property, tree trimming is essential for keeping it in good condition. This is especially true if you notice that fruit bearing has decreased over the years. As the tree flourishes, you may find that its canopy becomes denser. As such, it becomes difficult for sunlight to effectively permeate to all limbs and branches. Therefore, only the limbs that are receiving adequate sunlight will be able to bear fruit and the limbs in the middle will not be bearing any. With tree trimming, the arborists will be able to ensure that sunlight makes its way to the centre of the tree.

Tree trimming increases your property value

Since trees take up a significant amount of space in your garden, having one that is not well-maintained can drastically detract from the overall appeal of your property. If you are looking to sell your home at some point, it would be advisable to engage in regular fine pruning, which would improve the overall appearance of the tree and thus help your property as a whole look better.
