No yard is complete without trees, whether you love them for their curb appeal, environmental benefits, natural beauty, or shade from the hot sun. But like the plants in your garden, trees require attention from time to time. According to High Point, NC’s J D Mills Expert Tree Service, it’s vital to incorporate tree trimming in your routine for several reasons.

Promote Safety

Although beautiful, trees can also be dangerous. Branches — particularly if they’re damaged or dead — hanging over your home, above a fence, or near power lines pose a major threat. Particularly during extreme weather, falling limbs could damage property and cause injury. If you’re worried about safety at all, contact an emergency tree service.

Add Beauty 

Trees with tangled foliage, dead branches, or unsightly disease aren’t exactly beautifying your yard or neighborhood. Regular tree pruning and trimming to remove dead limbs and shape foliage can restore your tree’s natural good looks.

Improve Tree Health 

Tree trimming is vital to growth and structural integrity. If you suspect the tree is diseased, this task is even more important: Removing dead branches prevents the spread of disease and minimizes decay. A top-notch tree company will also spot other issues you may not notice, such as early signs of disease and limbs damaged from rubbing against each other.

Boost Fruit Production

Many homeowners love trees that yield fruit such as apples, cherries, and plums. Regular trimming boosts your odds of a bountiful harvest because the tree will receive more air circulation and branches won’t have to fight each other for essential nutrients.

If you’re not a fan of wielding clippers or pruners, let the experts at J D Mills Expert Tree Service handle your tree trimming. They’re also happy to tackle your stump grinding and tree removal needs. Call today at (336) 431-8162 or visit their website for more information.
