Tree trimming is a fundamental practice in maintaining your trees and is primarily performed to uphold the shape and size of the tree. Overgrown branches can grow in different directions and become unruly, giving your tree an unpleasant aesthetic. Trimming these branches will improve the look of the tree and your property overall.

 

Beyond the aesthetic benefits, tree trimming also addresses potential safety hazards. Tree branches can grow into the side of your home, over your roof, or over power lines. Have your kids complained of the tree branches making noises at night? It's most likely due to long branches banging or brushing on their windows. Not only is this keeping your kids up at night, but it could potentially damage the glass. Similarly, long branches can not only scratch or lift shingles, but also create a perfect pathway for animals to gain access to your roof.

 

If overgrown or long branches become too heavy, especially during a storm, they pose a risk to damaging your property or causing injury. Trimming and removing branches not only contribute to the visual appeal of your tree but also enhance its safety.
