For homeowners, trees are wonderful assets to have on a property. Not only do they enhance the visual appeal of your yard, but they also provide energy-saving shade to your home and positively affect the environment. However, trees require occasional care, including pruning. Here are some of the ways pruning is a beneficial aspect of tree care.

Why You Should Prune Trees

1. Health

Tree pruning combats disease and decay within a tree. The process removes dead, dying, and infected branches, which reduces the chance of further contamination and facilitates the growth of new leaves and limbs. This process also thins the tree to allow for more sunlight and air circulation around formerly dense areas.

2. Safety

pruningBranches weakened from past storms, wind, age, or decay become susceptible to breakage. The longer they remain on the tree, the more dangerous they become. If a break occurs, the downed limbs can damage your property or cause personal injury. Pruning removes the weak or dead branches and the risk of breakage.

3. Aesthetics

The presence of thin spots, overgrown branches, and hanging limbs can negatively affect the visual appeal of a tree, which can also make a yard seem unkempt. However, tree trimming and pruning improve the overall look of the tree. Not only will the process eliminate eyesores, but it also provides the opportunity to shape the tree and reduce the appearance of thin spots so the tree looks full and healthy.
