Tree Cutting: Saving Maturetrees

Blog

The trees in your yard help define your home. As living, breathing, organisms, your trees need to be nurtured and loved to thrive and stay healthy. This is particularly true if your trees are more mature and weathered.

Fortunately, a local tree cutting service professional can keep your trees standing for years to come.

Beauty Snips

Trees, if left unattended, will grow thicker and heavier each year. This growth, although necessary for younger trees, can be problematic for more mature trees.

• Pruning: a tree branch weighted down by a full spread of leaves can put a serious strain on the tree's infrastructure and root system. On the other hand, trees need leaves to collect sunlight and provide the shade needed to prevent moisture from burning away. Indiscriminately cutting away branches or removing leaves can do more harm than good. Additionally, you'll need the necessary equipment to get the job done safely. Hiring a tree trimming service professional to prune your mature trees on an annual or quarterly basis can make sure that they age sustainably and gracefully. For instance, if you have mature fruit trees on your property, a tree trimming service professional can prune them to maximize their yield and the year's they'll produce fruit.
• Trimming: in addition to pruning mature trees regularly, tree trimming service professionals can also trim away branches to ensure that mature trees aren't bogged down by excessive branching. Trimming these branches can your mature trees grow taller, straighter, and suffer less severe damage during seasonal storms. If you live in an area that sees regular snowfall or possible Hurricanes, trimming away excessive tree branches can save your mature trees during violent storms. In some cases, having your trees serviced regularly can decrease your homeowner's insurance.

Soil Doctoring

The best tree trimming service professionals are more than just a chain saw and bucket truck. Before you hire a trimming service professional, ask them about soil sampling and strategic feeding applications. For instance, if your mature trees are struggling to thrive, a tree trimming service professional can test the PH levels in the surrounding soil to fix any imbalances they find. Once the soil composition is understood, your tree trimming service professional can also suggest plants to pair with your mature trees. By planting complimentary shrubbery and flowers, you can help your mature trees get the ground cover they need to retain moisture and permanently restore soil balances.
