Reasons Why You Should Hire an Arborist

It is common among homeowners to think that trees can live with no intervention from people. While this is true to some extent, this will not ensure your tree will live a healthy and long life. If your goal is to see your tree flourish, you need to give it some TLC. However, you may not have the time to do so, or you just don’t know where to begin. This is where certified arborists come in handy. They can provide the care your tree needs the most. 

Keep Your Trees Healthy

Hiring a professional arborist to attend to your tree’s needs can give you the confidence that they can prune your trees correctly. Arborists know which branches should be eliminated and which ones should remain. With one wrong cut, your tree can face decline and eventually die. 

Keep Your Trees Safe

Your tree may be a threat to your safety without you knowing it. One of the advantages of having an arborist take care of your tree is that they can easily determine whether your tree has hazardous branches and limbs. When they see any potential danger, they can readily get rid of the branch to restore the safety in your property. 

Keep Your Trees in Shape

When your trees are pruned regularly, they will maintain their natural shape and look aesthetically pleasing. Regular trimming does not only keep the tree’s attractiveness but also allows better airflow and sunlight penetration, which are vital for its health. 

Right Time to Prune

The right time to prune depends on your purpose for pruning. If your goal is to get rid of dead branches, you can do it anytime. If there are other reasons behind pruning, then you have to make sure you follow the guidelines below. 

Winter Pruning

Winter pruning is the most recommended and the most common practice among arborists. It is best to prune trees when the coldest part of the season has passed because it can result in a much better growth come the spring season. 

Summer Pruning

If you want to stunt the growth of a tree, then you should prune it in summer. Doing this will ensure the tree is kept at its ideal size and not entangle utility lines nearby. 

Fall Pruning

It is almost not recommended to prune trees in fall because it is during this time when fungi are rampant among trees. It can spread easily and affect the rest of the trees in your yard.
