Why is Tree Care so Important?
Homeowners understand that trees on their property have tremendous value. They are an important asset to your home, and often not in the forefront of your mind throughout the year. You may recognize the beauty or sentimental value on a regular basis, but for most, you don't think much about your trees until a problem occurs.
Storms
and High Winds.
Storms and high winds are inevitable. We don't always know when to expect severe weather, but it's important to be prepared. Far too often we see damage to homes that could have been prevented with proper maintenance, or evaluation beforehand. It is sometimes hard to see the signs of rotting/dying trees and other potential hazards. A seemingly healthy tree, could have hidden compromised limbs that can cause damage.
Signs of diseased or dying trees include : cracks, cankers, or missing/peeling bark. Losing leaves too early, browning leaves, brittle, or no leaves at all. Leaning Trees Fungus Insect infection Scratch the trunk or twig, if it's brown and brittle it may be dying. (should be green, firm, and moist)
Preventative care
and Pruning
Preventative care will not only support the health, appearance, and structure of your trees, but will also give you peace of mind during storm seasons. A yearly inspection from an arborist is encouraged to help prevent disastrous situations, protect and maintain your assets, and avoid expensive repairs or insurance headaches.
Weight reduction is the main preventative measure to ensure your tree isn't damaged in a storm. Weight reduction alleviates the weight off of heavy branches, minimizing the risk of snapping or breakage. (Think of the New England ice storms and all those heavy pine trees around your house!)
Improving the
Health and Longevity of Trees.
A professional will look for signs of disease and pest damage throughout your trees. Unhealthy branches can be removed to keep trees healthy and secure. Pruning is essential to shape, and improve stability. Removing branches will increase growth by allowing light to penetrate more thoroughly.
