Your yard or garden adds beauty to your home and caring for the trees there keeps it looking attractive. A tree pruning service can help you maintain the well-groomed grounds you desire. Here are a few benefits of investing in this type of horticultural care.

3 Reasons for Scheduling Tree Pruning

1. Guard Against Storm Damage

Fall and early winter provide a full window of opportunity to trim trees in advance of storms. Heavy, wet snow and strong winds cause branches and limbs to break if they haven’t received proper care. Your trees might suffer damage, and so might people or property nearby, such as the roof or siding on the house. Proper pruning can safeguard the entire area and save you from costly repairs.

2. Enhance Tree Health

When trees are pruned regularly, they experience better health. Tree pruning professionals are trained to spot diseased and dying branches. Cutting off dead or unhealthy tree limbs stops diseases from spreading, boosts the entire plant’s overall stability, and encourages strong growth. Pruning is critical, especially for the health of exotic plants like the cold weather Pindo palm, which grows as far north as British Columbia in Canada. 

3. Boost Fruit Production

If you have fruit-bearing trees, professional pruning increases their yield. You reap the benefits of greater numbers and larger sizes of fruit produced. At harvest time, you have more fruit of a higher quality to make pies and jams for family and friends or sell at the farmer’s market. A tree care service will tell you the right time to prune for the best results from the trees.
