Three Reasons to Trim the Trees on Your Long Grove Property

Why should you hire a tree trimming service? Check out these three reasons:

Trim for safety

Trees will keep growing as they age. They grow up, they grow out, and they sometimes grow too close to buildings and power lines. Trimming a tree will keep the branches from encroaching on other parts of your property, such as your house and other trees.

Trim away broken or dead branches

Occasionally, disease or high winds will destroy part of a tree. Our tree trimming team can safely remove the threat of falling branches.

Trim for cosmetic purposes

When a tree grows too many branches, it can look crowded and dense. It can also grow in strange ways and look lopsided. We can beautify your trees, taking care of the overgrowth and giving your tree a better shape.

The Right Time for Tree Trimming

We will usually trim your trees during the winter, unless there's an urgent need to trim them at a different time of year. The winter is the tree's dormant season. Trimming while the tree is dormant helps prevent further damage or disease. For example, Oaks and American Elms are at risk for Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm Disease if they are trimmed during any season except winter.

Even if it's not winter, we can do an evaluation and plan for trimming whenever you wish.

Control the Trees on Your Landscape

A tree can grow wild. They do it all the time in the woods. That doesn't mean a tree should grow wild on your property. Professional tree trimming services ensure your trees don't pose problems to the other things on your landscape. Too much shade on a roof can create roof damage. Large branches growing above your garage can pose a threat that might damage your garage. Trees growing too close to power lines could short out the neighborhood's power supply. Tree trimming services take care of your trees, so they grow in a controlled manner.

Choose to Trim Your Trees Before They Need Topping

When a tree grows too close to a power line, the power company may come along and top it. This means they cut off the top of the tree, or they cut off large chunks of the tree. This usually results in ugly trees that don't grow properly from then on. The best way to avoid topping is to control the growth of the tree before it becomes a problem. Give us a call, and we'll come over to your Long Grove property and determine the best way to trim the tree to prevent it from growing too close to the power lines. If the top of the tree is the issue, we can taper the crown for a more pleasing effect than topping.

Take Special Care of Your Fruit and Flowering Trees

Fruit trees have a tendency to grow more branches than is good for them. The excess branches block out necessary sunlight and soak up too much water and nutrients from the soil. This usually results in smaller fruit and a greater vulnerability to disease. To strengthen and preserve the health of your fruit and flowering trees, our tree care team can prune the branches. Pruning is especially important during the first few years of the tree's development.

Yes, Our Tree Care Experts Handle Pruning, Too

Pruning and trimming are similar, but they have a slightly different purpose. Pruning is meant to improve the health of your tree. Trimming is meant to keep your tree safe and looking good. Our team handles both pruning and trimming, at the appropriate times of year, for the maximum benefit of your trees.
