From cool shade to delicious fruit, trees provide a wide variety of benefits for property owners. However, even the hardiest species require maintenance to thrive. A necessary maintenance step is tree trimming. Occurring once or twice a year, this service can address the tree’s needs while aiding yourself.

How Tree Trimming Benefits You

1. Increased Aesthetic Appeal

The shape of trees and shrubbery have a significant effect on curb appeal. When the growth goes unmanaged for years at a time, a plant's appearance becomes wild and unsightly. Luckily, trimming provides a quick and simple solution to the problem by effectively reshaping the tree. In most cases, it results in rounded edges for optimal aesthetic appeal.

2. Enhanced Fruit Production

When it comes to fruit-producing species, like mango and fig, a healthy tree provides a greater output than a diseased or struggling one. Part of the tree trimming process is removing dead or dying limbs. This step prevents under-performing sections from using up vital nutrients. As a result, the plant is able to maintain its overall health, fight off disease and threats more easily, and produce an abundance of fruit for you to enjoy.

3. Increased Safety

Powerful winds are common, especially during Hawaii’s hurricane season, which has already begun and carries until Nov. 30. Strong gusts can cause trees to fall over or branches to fly off and crash into your home. Tree trimming will cut back overhanging limbs so that your home and family remain protected throughout the year.
