Tree pruning is the process of removing branches or leaves from a tree. This task should be completed about once a year to keep trees and the rest of your property in optimal condition. Learn more about why you should not overlook this part of your annual landscaping maintenance.

Why Tree Pruning Is Necessary

1. Improves Tree Health

When branches begin to die, that decay or disease can spread to the rest of the tree. Removing those branches stops that process and allows the other parts of the tree to thrive. It also creates more space for new and healthy growth to emerge.

Dead branches are more likely to fall because of strong winds or other extreme weather events, potentially leading to injury or property damage. Pruning removes those hazards as well as any branches that may come into contact with power lines or walking paths.

3. Boosts Aesthetics

Pruning removes unsightly overgrowth, making your trees look healthier and neater. Regular pruning also allows you to train young trees to grow branches in a specific shape.

4. Helps Other Plants Grow

Overgrown trees can block the sun from other plants around them. Trimming away excess foliage allows more light and rain to reach other areas of your landscaping, giving the rest of your plants a better chance to grow.
