Tree Care Services

Did you know that your trees sometimes need help in thriving? Does your property need tree services? Many homeowners often see their trees as little more than ornamental, not realizing that a strong, established tree can add overall value to their property. Some estimates are a 3-20% increase in property value. 

And just like your property, investing in strong sturdy trees will reward you in beauty and value. Making use of professional, Certified Arborists for tree trimming, tree care, and removal can be one of the best decisions for the long-term vitality and worth of your property.

Tree Trimming and Pruning Are A Science, and An Art.

We get it, homeownership can come with a lot of expenses and you want to save some money by forgoing professional tree services and performing tree services yourself.

Unfortunately, there really is an art and science to tree trimming that requires an in-depth knowledge of tree biology and training.

Too many homeowners wait until an unruly tree causes or incurs damage from storms.

While it’s true that no amount of professional tree services can prevent a tree from becoming damaged during incremental weather, it can significantly reduce the possibility of the tree causing harm to your home and property. 

Professional management ensures the landscape is beautiful, healthy and your tree(s) are not a safety risk to your home.  

So, what happens when DIYers try to do a certified arborist’s job themselves?

Thinking of DIYing instead of using a tree service with certified arborists? Serious damage to the well-being of your trees, as well as loss of aesthetics, can be the result. This is because overcutting or undercutting can have long-term negative results. In addition, making permanent changes to the tree canopy can have an undesirable effect on how the tree continues to grow. As well, not all plant diseases which require treatment are initially visible, meaning they can continue unnoticed becoming detrimental to the tree. 

Safety is another concern for the untrained person trying to perform tree services. Falling branches, deep splinters, overstraining injuries, and even electrical wires can all pose a threat to the untrained individual.

Tips for Trimming and Effective Tree Pruning

OC Arborists Tree Tips

Pruning plays a crucial role in maintain a healthy tree. Improper pruning can introduce structural weakness or invite decay. Not pruning enough allows the tree canopy to become heavy and thick preventing wind from flowing through. This results in the canopy acting like a sail, catching the wind.
​
Knowing the basics of pruning and trimming is important, considering that such processes can either damage or improve your trees. There are actually a variety of trimming tips and pruning techniques that are great in keeping your trees in healthy shape.

Tip #1
In pruning, remember to promote new growth and better air circulation by cutting away the branches that cross or run against other branches. Meanwhile, trim branches that could cause danger to the public. For instance, clear branches that are too long that they interfere with pedestrians and electricity wires.

Tip #2
Do not be afraid to make the cut. It is important to keep in mind that a simple pruning can do great things for your plants and trees. The risk of over trimming may be high, but once you learn how to do it properly, the results can be very rewarding. In return, you will have healthier and more beautiful-looking trees, more flowers and thicker foliage.

Tip #3
To keep your plants and trees healthy and in shape, it is crucial to know exactly when to prune. Use a seasonal guide to plan your gardening calendar ahead of time.

Tip #4
Lateral branches should be kept as evenly spaced as possible. This is especially true for young plants.

Tip #5
Never remove more than one-third of the living crown; otherwise, the tree may not be able to produce strong branches. Instead, maintain branches on at least two-thirds of the height of the tree. But remember; reduce the crown only if it is truly necessary.

Tip #6
Should you decide to remove more than half of the foliage, just remove the whole branch. If you insist otherwise, you’ll soon find your trees growing weak and insufficient.
