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

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

Dead or fractured limbs certainly pose safety risks to fall on people, homes or vehicles. This situation is the most common pruning need.

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

The others? Removing diseased parts to avoid spread. Structural pruning to promote 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 New Berlin. 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 broken limbs eliminates risk of their snapping in strong 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 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 cut limbs – and, as importantly, which ones to cut.

Every branch pruned 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 harm a tree and begin 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 New Berlin, 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 analysis by a Certified Arborist, and tree trimming services by a company with more than three decades of professional experience service yards in New Berlin.

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.
