Tree care is very important for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which being the health of the tree and the effect it can have on the shade of your property.  A tree might look to be overgrown and you may be thinking that removal is the best option but it may just need trimmed by a certified arborist.  What is the best way to tell?

Tree Removal vs. Tree Trimming

If the tree is merely overgrown and not encroaching on your foundation or other landscaping, tree trimming is the better choice.  Proper trimming ensures your tree will remain healthy; simply chopping off branches and limbs can invite insects and disease, not to mention an uneven appearance.  This can also cause more growth and a need for increased pruning, which can shorten the life of the tree.

An improperly trimmed tree may then need to be removed if it has been infected with disease or insects.  In addition, if the tree is interfering with property structure like downspout drains, power lines or your home’s foundation, it may need removed.  Our team is very cognizant of the environment surrounding the tree and will safely perform the service required.

Our certified arborists have the knowledge and expertise of tree biology to be able to properly assess any tree on your property, and will be able to help you make an informed decision on whether tree removal or tree trimming is the right solution for you. Reach out today!
