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

Ask a Tichigan 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 broken limbs certainly pose safety risks to fall on people, homes or vehicles. This scenario is the most common pruning need.

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

The others? Cutting off diseased parts to block spread. Structural pruning to encourage long-term growth, health and aesthetics. Taking off limbs that are rubbing against others, possibly 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 Tichigan. Even better, contact Dorshak Tree Specialists, and let its experienced professionals (including seven Certified Arborists) handle all your trees’ needs!

Proactive tree trimming makes sense on many levels. Removing weak or broken 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 complex than starting a chainsaw and cutting away, though. The tree trimming service professionals at Dorshak Tree Specialists are educated 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 creates 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 elevated 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 Tichigan, some tree species should not be trimmed 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 pruning services by a company with more than three decades of professional experience service homeowners in Tichigan.

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.
