Here are some helpful tips and tricks to help you with Tree Trimming Services

  • Insects and Disease: Poor cuts have a difficult time forming proper wound closures. The size and location of these cuts prevent the tree’s chemically based natural defense system from functioning properly. The cut sites are highly vulnerable to invasion of insects and the spores of decay fungi.
  • City and County Codes prohibit this some types of tree abuse. For example, to protect South Florida fragile environment and its natural resources. You may be required to appear at a code enforcement hearing and can be fined up to $5,000 for irreparable damage.
  • Every year, power outages are caused by storms that bring trees or limbs down on lines. Restoring power is expensive, as is trimming trees to prevent these outages. Take a minute to see how you might plant “power friendly” trees.
  • When you're looking for a tree service, check the company's topping policy. If they recommend topping, consider checking with someone else to confirm it's absolutely necessary. Also, find out if the individual or company carries professional certification, particularly through the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA).
  • You should try to remove low branches. If this is not done, these branches have a greater potential for failure as the tree ages. If they do fail, the damage can ruin the tree. These lowest branches also are the ones that cause interferences with streets, sidewalks or routine maintenance such as mowing. Also, removing them accelerates tree growth as energy is diverted to growth at upper levels.
  • How much should I trim off of my tree? Young trees recover faster and easier than mature trees from trimming. Generally up to 30 percent of the crown can be safely removed. A ratio of two-thirds crown to one-third stem is recommended for an aesthetic and overall balance.
  • Once you decide to prune, you should be doing it to improve the structure of the tree or for its safety. Artful pruning can beautify trees; however, it can be difficult on the tree if not pruned properly and at the same time.
