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

Ask a Pewaukee West property owner why a branch should be pruned from a tree, and their answer would likely be: It’s dead. And yes, this is a prudent reason to do so.

Dead or broken limbs certainly pose safety hazards to fall on people, homes or vehicles. This scenario is the most common trimming need.

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

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

The smart approach is having a Certified Arborist inspect your trees, and hiring a tree trimming service in Pewaukee West. 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 breaking in severe winds. Shaping a tree prevents its branches from touching structures, dropping debris on roofs and in gutters, or dripping sap on vehicles.

The process of tree trimming is more complicated than starting a chainsaw and cutting away, though. The tree pruning service professionals at Dorshak Tree Specialists are trained in the right way to remove 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 start a long downward spiral.

Reaching high limbs is a challenge unto itself. Dorshak Tree Specialists uses a spider lift or bucket truck to reach many. Experienced climbers prune in tight spots where machinery doesn’t fit.

In Pewaukee West, 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? Fortunately, 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 yards in Pewaukee West.

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.
