Benefits of Tree Services Towards Your Property

Tree trimming and tree pruning are one of the most important parts of tree care and maintenance. By hiring professionals to perform these services you can dramatically increase the health and visual appeal of all trees on your property. This in return increases your landscaping and property appeal as a whole. One important thing to know is that there is a difference between tree trimming and tree pruning. Trimming a tree is where the goal is to promote tree growth into a certain direction that will increase the trees visual appeal. Pruning on the other hand is done to remove unnecessary branches and increase the overall health of the tree in the process. Typically tree trimming is done more often than tree pruning. Tree trimming needs to happen at the very least once per year while tree pruning can take place every 2-3 years depending on the size and growth of the tree.

Tree removal can be just as important as any other kind of tree service. The removal of a tree can help clear up space for other landscaping projects such as gardens, flower beds, or another tree. Tree removal can also have health benefits for one’s property. First of all, large trees can interrupt the growth and health of all your other plants. This can happen by blocking sunlight from reaching other smaller plants which can severely reduce the health of the plants receiving less sunlight. The roots of the larger tree can grow across the property and prevent the absorption of water for smaller plants with smaller roots. The larger roots can also strangle and suffocate the roots of the smaller plants. Another problem with larger trees is that if they are planted and allowed to grow near a property’s foundation the roots of that tree can begin to disrupt and destroy that foundation. All these occurrences can result in the death of smaller plants or damage to your property. Should any of these scenarios occur it may be best to call a tree removal service for the sake of all the other plants on your property.

Stump removal, also known as stump grinding, is the occurrence of hiring a tree service to remove both a tree stump and the roots connected to it. There are good reasons to have a stump removed shortly after removing the tree connected to it. Firstly, tree stumps are a hazard depending on the location of the stump. By hazard I mean an injury or tripping hazard. The tree stump good be in the path of a walking lane or the stump may be too short or grinded down to notice or the grass around the stump may be too high to see the stump. All these scenarios can result in injury or tripping. Stump removal, or stump grinding, may be required to avoid any kind of injuries on your property. Secondly, allowing a tree stump to be left for a long period of time can result in rot forming on the tree stump. Not only is this visually unappealing but can also result in fungus growth on the tree stump which can potentially spread throughout your property if not properly addressed. Hiring a tree service for a stump removal, or stump grinding, job is the best option for left behind tree stumps.

There are many other things tree services can do to help your property from inspections to maintenance to mulching to arborist care. All this maintenance has its benefits such as visual appeal and landscape health. Another good reason for this yard maintenance is that it’s estimated that property value can increase by up to 20% with great landscaping and gardening.
