Hire a Tree Pruning Service in Sylvan Mounds … For All the Right Reasons!

Ask a Sylvan Mounds homeowner why a branch should be removed from a tree, and their answer would likely be: It’s dead. And yes, this is a good reason to do so.

Dead or fractured limbs certainly pose safety hazards to fall on people, homes or vehicles. This situation is the most common trimming need.

It’s not the only one, however. Trees need trimming for many reasons.

The others? Removing diseased parts to prevent spread. Structural pruning to encourage long-term growth, health and aesthetics. Trimming limbs that are rubbing against others, potentially opening wounds that allow insects and disease in.

The wise approach is having a Certified Arborist inspect your trees, and hiring a tree trimming service in Sylvan Mounds. Even better, contact Dorshak Tree Specialists, and let its experienced professionals (including seven Certified Arborists) take care of all your trees’ needs!

Proactive tree trimming makes sense on many levels. Removing weak or fractured limbs eliminates risk of their breaking in strong winds. Shaping a tree prevents its branches from touching structures, dropping debris on roofs and in gutters, or dripping sap on vehicles.

The process of tree trimming is more complicated than firing up a chainsaw and cutting away, though. The tree pruning service professionals at Dorshak Tree Specialists are skilled in the right way to remove limbs – and, as importantly, which ones to cut.

Every branch trimmed should have a reason for doing so. Each cut creates a wound, a potential pathway for insects or disease to attack. Trimming too much, or too little, can harm a tree and start a long downward spiral.

Accessing high limbs is a challenge unto itself. Dorshak Tree Specialists uses a spider lift or bucket truck to access many. Experienced climbers prune in tight spots where machinery doesn’t fit.

In Sylvan Mounds, some tree species should not be pruned when they’re wet. Others, such as oaks and American elms, should be trimmed during winter to minimize risk of Oak Wilt or Dutch elm disease. Such knowledge can prevent well-intentioned tree work from doing more long-term harm than good.

How do you know which trees to prune, and when? Luckily, you don’t have to. Contact Dorshak Tree Specialists for an analysis by a Certified Arborist, and tree trimming services by a company with more than three decades of professional experience service yards in Sylvan Mounds.

The reasons to do so are numerous. Topping the list are keeping your trees healthy, and loved ones and property safe. If posed as a question, these would undoubtedly be everyone’s answers.
