Hire a Tree Trimming Service in Buena Park … For All the Right Reasons!

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

Dead or broken limbs certainly pose safety risks to fall on people, homes or vehicles. This situation is the most obvious trimming need.

It’s not the only one, however. Trees need pruning 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, potentially 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 Buena Park. 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 broken limbs eliminates risk of their breaking in high 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 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 removed should have a reason for doing so. Each cut opens a wound, a potential 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 access many. Experienced climbers prune in tight spots where machinery doesn’t fit.

In Buena Park, some tree species should not be trimmed when they’re wet. Others, such as oaks and American elms, should be pruned 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? Fortunately, you don’t have to. Contact Dorshak Tree Specialists for an inspection by a Certified Arborist, and tree trimming services by a company with more than three decades of professional experience service homeowners in Buena Park.

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.
