Reasons To Consult A Tree Service Even If Your Trees Appear Healthy

After I realized that my entire yard was at risk because of our towering pine trees, I decided to start looking for a professional tree service company. I didn't necessarily want to chop the trees down, but I knew that they needed to be trimmed in order to keep millions of pine needles from falling all over my yard. It was a lot of work, but I decided that it would be smart to protect my investments. After finding a great business, it was incredible to see how well they trimmed the trees and tidied up the foliage. This blog is all about working with a great tree service.

Reasons To Consult A Tree Service Even If Your Trees Appear Healthy

When many homeowners notice problems with a tree on their property, they're quick to call a local tree service. While doing so is a good idea, you should also consider consulting your local tree care professionals even when nothing appears wrong. Just as it's a good idea to take your vehicle to the mechanic for an occasional checkup, having a crew from the tree service visit you when everything appears fine can catch issues before they become major, which could potentially save you money and maybe even save one of your trees — or, in some cases, a problematic tree could be removed before falling down and harming your house. Here are some reasons to consult a tree service.

Trees Can Be Inspected For Disease

Trees are susceptible to a number of different diseases and pests that can compromise their health. A certain type of mold on a tree might go unnoticed by you until it has grown. At this point, the three may need to be cut down so that the mold doesn't remain in your yard and potentially spread to other trees and harm them. Even if nothing appears out of the ordinary with your trees, having a tree service check the health of each tree in your yard is a good idea. Certain issues, when caught early, can be treated in order to save the affected trees. In other cases, the tree can be removed before the disease spreads to other trees in your yard.

Certain Limbs Can Be Trimmed

Just as you might overlook a health issue with one of your trees, you might also fail to catch signs that branches are close to breaking. For example, after the winter, branches that held plenty of snow and ice may be bent severely and ready to snap. This can pose a safety hazard — the branch could break off and land on a member of your family in the yard, for example. Likewise, a branch could break and tear off an enormous strip of bark, which can harm the tree. Upon identifying any problematic branches, your tree service can remove them properly.

You'll Learn Tips For Better Care

Your local tree service offers a broad spectrum of knowledge about caring for your trees. Many homeowners largely leave their trees alone, but some valuable details may encourage you to devote some effort to making your trees look better. For example, perhaps there's an exposed root that you've occasionally nicked with the lawnmower without noticing. The tree service can point out this problem and suggest that you mound up some dirt over the root and plant grass seed so that you're no longer harming the root.
