Hire a Tree Trimming Service in Bohners Lake … For All the Right Reasons!

Ask a Bohners Lake property owner why a branch should be trimmed from a tree, and their answer would likely be: It’s dead. And yes, this is a prudent 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 pruning need.

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

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

The smart approach is having a Certified Arborist look over your trees, and hiring a tree trimming service in Bohners Lake. 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 snapping in severe winds. Shaping a tree prevents its branches from scratching against structures, dropping debris on roofs and in gutters, or dripping sap on vehicles.

The process of tree trimming is more involved than firing up a chainsaw and cutting away, though. The tree trimming service professionals at Dorshak Tree Specialists are trained 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.

Reaching 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 Bohners Lake, 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 inspection by a Certified Arborist, and tree pruning services by a company with more than three decades of professional experience service yards in Bohners Lake.

The reasons to do so are abundant. 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.
