Now that spring is upon us, you’re likely to be looking at landscaping options to prepare your yard for warmer weather. While routine trimming is important for the overall health of your tree, there are many other reasons your tree could need professional care. Here, we’ll teach you how to recognize the top signs you may need professional tree trimming services.
With our most recent snowstorms, it’s easy to see where damage has been done and where trimming needs to be done, such as snapped branches or toppled limbs and even cracks in the tree’s bark.
And, depending on where you live, your HOA or city forester might send you notices about trimming your trees for clearance. For instance, if you have branches growing into power lines or need to trim branches back for emergency vehicles.
But there are other signs to keep in mind when you need professional tree trimming services. Like us, trees have physical signs that help us know when it’s time to call in the professionals. Here are some of the signs to look out for.
Signs Your Tree Needs Professional Tree Trimming Services
Dead/Diseased Limbs: Dead or diseased tree limbs will be bare when foliage should be plentiful. Some tree diseases stem from fungi in the soil or even pests feeding from surrounding trees. If you don’t trim these limbs off soon, the disease can spread, resulting in the need for total tree removal.
Weak Branches: Weak branches can be caused by a few things, such as overgrowth, putting too much weight on the branch, or disease. Whatever the case may be, if you notice any bowing branches or if they’re snapping too easily, it’s time for a trim.
Misshapen Limbs: While trees grow in unique ways, sometimes they can branch out sporadically toward your home or over even your neighbor’s. Or your tree may be too dense with uneven weight distribution through the limbs. The combination of extra weight and limbs and roots stretching beyond their capacity has the potential to cause immense property damage.
Overgrowth/Density: Speaking of dense trees, while we love to celebrate growth, sometimes too much of a good thing can be bad. So, while healthy growth of a tree is great, it can get to a point where you can’t see through the foliage, meaning the tree has become too dense. And a dense tree can be hazardous during storms, as the limbs have become too heavy to hold up the extra weight.
