Benefits of Tree Trimming Getting your trees trimmed regularly can benefit you in the long run. This type of maintenance can help you avoid pests, disease, and property damage. Difference Between Trimming & Pruning While trimming and pruning are sometimes used interchangeably, there is a difference between the two. Tree pruning consists of removing dead, diseased, and damaged branches for the health of the tree. One example of this is pruning fireblight out of trees in the winter to prevent the spread of the disease. Meanwhile, tree trimming involves the removal of interfering branches, like branches growing into each other or over roofs and driveways. Both, however, provide a neater aesthetic and help assist in the overall health of your property. When Should I Remove My Tree? Regular assessments of tree health are essential for maintaining the vitality of your landscape. Homeowners should consider seeking professional tree care services when they notice signs of distress in their trees. Once our arborists make a diagnosis, the decision is then up to you. We recommend looking into getting a full removal if you notice any of the following; a hollow trunk, if the canopy is more than 50% dead, or if the tree is diseased or pest-ridden and beyond help. A hollow trunk can leave a tree unstable, meaning it may fall at any point, leaving you with damage on your property or even a neighbor’s. While there are treatments to help improve a tree’s canopy or assist with disease or pests, once a tree is too far gone, it’s an easier (and often cheaper) option to remove and replace rather than throw money at various treatments in hopes of aiding the tree back to health. We don’t want to remove a tree just for the money, which is why we do more than just tree trimming and removal. We provide an array of tree services in Lakewood. In certain cases, our PHC (plant health care) services can bring back that lush vibrancy to your yard. PHC Services Since we care more about the overall health of trees rather than just hacking away at them for a result, we offer plant health treatments to aid in root development, and ensuring your trees have the nutrients to grow properly. Tree Fertilization & Stimulators: Due to Colorado’s sandy and clay soils, we offer a blend of micronutrients that help fertilize the soil for tree root development. Iron Treatments: Along with needing extra micronutrients due to the soil, it’s also possible for your tree to have an iron deficiency, meaning it won’t produce enough chlorophyll- the chemical that makes a leaf turn green. But not to worry, we have a treatment for that, too. Insect Sprays: Since we live in such an arid climate, the trees here don’t always have the nutrients they need, meaning they’re more prone to stress- the leading cause of pests and disease. Our insect sprays help combat these issues. Our treatments protect against the emerald ash borer , Ips beetles, aphids, and mites.
