For all the beauty and shade they provide, trees require routine care to continue benefiting your home’s landscaping. Regular tree trimming helps promote healthy rejuvenation year after year, even if the chore may be an afterthought. Here are several reasons why it pays to have branches professionally trimmed periodically.

How Will Regular Tree Trimming Pay Off?

1. Protects Your Home

Strong winds can cause overhanging branches to fall directly on your house. Depending on their weight, the damage to your roof and other structures can be costly. Regular tree trimming eliminates these dangers by removing the branches over your home.

2. Boosts Tree Health

Regular tree trimming is essential for getting rid of culprits that can affect your tree’s health, including rotting, dead, and insect-infected branches. When trees are scaled back on a seasonal basis, the additional air and sun exposure also promotes healthier leaf and branch production. Fruit trees especially benefit from regular trims, producing more crops.

3. Prevents Power Outages

When tree branches grow long enough to come in contact with nearby power lines, they could lead to a power outage that affects the entire neighborhood. When tree branches are safely cut back by professionals, it reduces the chance of one of them falling on your lines.

4. Opens Up Landscaping

When trees aren't routinely trimmed, their presence can overwhelm your home’s landscaping. Removing low and overhanging branches helps make your house’s exterior the star. Trimmed trees also enhance other outdoor features, such as shrubs, gardens, walkways, and hardscape elements.
