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

Ask a Goldenthal homeowner why a branch should be pruned 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 scenario is the most obvious trimming need.

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

The others? Removing diseased parts to avoid spread. Structural pruning to promote long-term growth, health and aesthetics. Trimming 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 Goldenthal. 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 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 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 taken off 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 injure a tree and begin 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 Goldenthal, 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? Fortunately, 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 Goldenthal.

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.
