Regular tree trimming comes with a wide variety of benefits. Without this essential Boise tree care service, Treasure Valley homeowners often find themselves facing some extremely hazardous and costly repercussions. That’s why Mountain West Arbor Care would like to review the following dangers of overgrown trees.
Safety Hazards
Regular trimming helps maintain the structural integrity of a tree to ensure it doesn’t drop heavy branches or fall over entirely during extreme weather. Proper trimming also works to keep a tree’s roots strong and healthy. Furthermore, unkempt tree branches that grow outward and upward without being managed can tangle with nearby power lines. Any limbs or branches that touch or brush against power lines are considered extremely hazardous and can put you and your family in grave danger.
Property Hazards
Regular trimming helps to eliminate any weak branches and provide more water and nourishment to the healthy parts of a tree. The removal of co-dominant leaders also helps to prevent branches from splitting and breaking during extreme weather, which can wreak havoc on your home’s roof, windows, siding, and more. Furthermore, trimming back any dead branches is also very important when it comes to preventing any potential fire hazards.
Disease & Infection
It’s extremely important to remove any damaged or dead areas of a tree to prevent the spread of disease and insect infestation. Tiny pests and disease not only harm an infected tree, but they can also spread to nearby healthy trees or even your home. Regular trimming prevents this from happening by removing problematic areas while thinning a tree’s dense canopy to increase air and sunlight exposure.
Aesthetic Appeal
A well-maintained landscape says a lot about your home. Regular tree trimming not only improves aesthetic appeal, but it also boosts the overall value of your home. If you are planning on putting your home on the market, it’s important to make a good first impression for potential homebuyers. Overgrown, misshapen trees can reduce the value of your home while depriving nearby plants of the water, sunlight, and nutrients they need to thrive. Furthermore, you may want to consider a view enhancement service to showcase the beautiful vistas that surround your home.
