Top 4 Benefits of Tree Pruning

As a tree becomes overgrown and unshapely, it doesn’t just create an eyesore, it can actually pose health concerns for the tree. When branches start rubbing against one another, the bark can open up, giving diseases a prime opportunity to infect the tree. And when a tree becomes diseased, it can create a safety hazard because poor health makes it more susceptible to toppling over in high winds. But when you keep your trees properly pruned, you’ll have attractive landscape features that are more likely to remain healthy. At Mauricio’s Tree Service, our local arborists provide expert tree pruning in the greater Peekskill, NY area. Here’s a look at four reasons to prune your trees.
Remove Hazardous Limbs
Limbs are more likely to come crashing down if they are dead, dying, diseased, or damaged. And when a big limb suddenly breaks off, it can then cause property damage, and may even inflict injuries. If your tree has any hazardous limbs, they should be promptly removed, especially before the next windstorm hits. An experienced arborist will make clean cuts that allow the tree to heal up after the limbs are removed.
Train Young Trees
Trees generally need to be first pruned between the ages of three and five. By pruning your tree from a young age, you’ll have a much easier time keeping it in a shapely form as it gets older and larger.
Let More Sun Reach Your Lawn/Garden
When a tree becomes overgrown, it can increasingly shade out your lawn and garden beds. Typically, lawn grass is supposed to get a minimum of six hours of sun with only 20% filter or less. By pruning an overgrown tree, the grass and flower beds below will have a better chance to grow strongly.
A Better View
If you have a home that looks out on an attractive landscape, then you don’t want an overgrown tree obstructing your view. A professional pruning can enhance your view while also improving the tree’s health.
