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

Ask a Genesee homeowner why a branch should be removed 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 scenario is the most obvious pruning need.

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

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

The wise approach is having a Certified Arborist analyze your trees, and hiring a tree trimming service in Genesee. Even better, contact Dorshak Tree Specialists, and let its experienced professionals (including seven Certified Arborists) take care of all your trees’ needs!

Proactive tree pruning 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 complicated than firing up a chainsaw and cutting away, though. The tree pruning service professionals at Dorshak Tree Specialists are proficient 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 opens a wound, a possible pathway for insects or disease to attack. Trimming too much, or too little, can harm a tree and begin 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 Genesee, 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 residents in Genesee.

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.
