4 Reasons Why Tree Trimming & Pruning are Necessary

Woodinville, United States - March 25, 2021 / Aadams Tree & Landscaping /

Trimming and Pruning are terms often used interchangeably when one talks about tree care and maintenance. However, professional tree service teams like Aadams Tree and Landscaping in Woodinville, WA and the greater Seattle, WA will tell you that there is an important difference between the two. Pruning is about removing what’s useless or harmful to a plant: removing loose, dying, infected, or dead branches and stems. Trimming, on the other hand, is cutting away what’s taking over or impeding the growth of your trees. The experts take great care in doing both tasks hand in hand because they know how both are very beneficial.

The truth is, properly trimming and pruning is not only important to your trees but to you too. The first obvious benefit of trimming your trees would be the increased aesthetic value that a properly trimmed tree can provide. It can also provide you with a better view. But, if aesthetics is not enough of a motivation for you, then here are 4 more important reasons why you should trim and prune your trees. 

  • Improves Safety: 

Dead branches can pose a risk to life and property especially during storms. Trees near power lines are also risky. Pruning helps prevent accidents by removing high-risk branches from your tree. Experienced technicians at Aadams Tree and Landscaping can remove broken or dangling branches that may pose a risk to passersby and meticulously snip dead or diseased limbs with weakness that may not be easy to spot to the untrained eye.

  • Keeps Trees Healthy:

Because pruning involves the removal of dead and infected branches, it promotes new growth, balance and structural integrity. Professional arborists are able to detect and address cracks, cavities, cankers, and more to prevent the issues from spreading or getting worse. 

  • Adds More Sun Exposure:

Overgrown trees can prevent sunlight from entering your homes or even shade grass and other plants in need of the sun. Well-executed tree and branch trimming can maximize the amount of sunlight your property receives which can promote grass growth. And allowing more sunlight into your homes can even help lower power consumption.

  • Increases Property Value:

Realty experts say that a well-maintained yard can enhance a property’s value anywhere between 20 – 30%. Properly cared-for trees are a sign of a high-quality property as well as potential savings. Improving the curb appeal of the property is among the top priorities for homeowners and the best place to start is in your garden by pruning your trees.

Is it time to Trim and Prune Your Trees?

Considering all these benefits of trimming and pruning, probably your next question is, ‘When should I do it?’. Winter time is the most ideal time to trim and prune your trees. The main reason is that it is much easier to do this while all the leaves are gone. Also, during the winter seasons trimming wounds heal faster resulting in a strong plant and you have less chances of pests and diseases

Winter is Ending, can I still Trim and Prune my Trees?

Yes. Though heavy pruning is best left for winter when the trees are dormant and don’t have any leaves, the warmer seasons are still good for some light trimming. These seasons are best for shaping your trees and limiting overgrowth. Also, ensuring your safety is a year-round thing. Removing dead or hanging branches that pose risks should be dealt with as soon as possible, regardless of the season. 

How often should I Trim and Prune my Trees?

Fruit trees are best trimmed and pruned once a year to boost its ability to bear fruit. For other trees, young trees need pruning more often than adult trees. You may trim them once every 2 to 3 years. Once a tree starts maturing, the objectives of pruning are to maintain the health, shape and form of the trees. Mature trees should be trimmed once every 3 to 5 years. You can trim off dead branches and hazardous parts of trees whenever the need arises.
