There are many reasons to arrange tree trimming services. Eliminating dead branches, shaping a tree for aesthetic purposes, removing large lower branches, and pruning a flowering tree to enhance its blooms are among them. But when is the best time for tree trimming, and how do you do it correctly? The experts at H & H Tree Service will explain the details. They have been providing effective tree pruning and trimming in the New London, NC, area for more than 20 years.

Similar to giving your hair a cut, regular trimming helps a tree stay healthy and grow the right way. Removing dead wood not only ensures the safety of those walking underneath a tree but keeps branches and debris from falling on your yard. Winter is a common time for tree pruning; doing it while a tree is dormant helps it burst into beautiful new growth in the spring. Cherry, crape myrtle, and other flowering trees should be pruned after their buds have died. If a tree is growing close to your home or you want it to maintain a certain shape, prune it in the summer to slow branch growth.

If you have handheld pruning shears or a pole pruner, you can remove small or dead branches and flower buds. Cuts should be sharp and clean with about a quarter of the branch remaining. But tree trimming can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing, so hire an arborist to handle major jobs.
