Hire a Tree Trimming Service in Oak Creek … For All the Right Reasons!

Ask a Oak Creek property owner why a branch should be cut from a tree, and their answer would likely be: It’s dead. And yes, this is a legitimate reason to do so.

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

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

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

The advisable approach is having a Certified Arborist inspect your trees, and hiring a tree trimming service in Oak Creek. Even better, contact Dorshak Tree Specialists, and let its experienced professionals (including seven Certified Arborists) address all your trees’ needs!

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

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

Every branch trimmed should have a reason for doing so. Each cut opens a wound, a possible pathway for insects or disease to attack. Trimming too much, or too little, can injure 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 reach many. Experienced climbers prune in tight spots where machinery doesn’t fit.

In Oak Creek, 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 homeowners in Oak Creek.

The reasons to do so are many. 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.
