Trees are aesthetically appealing and packed with many advantages for homeowners. It's crucial, however, to maintain trees properly with regular tree trimming in order to reap these benefits. Making trimming a part of routine maintenance will ensure that you get everything you can out of the trees on your property.

Promotes Tree Health

Working with arborist companies to ensure regular tree trimming promotes healthy trees that continue to grow. When dead branches are trimmed off trees, the bacteria and fungi are cut away, preventing them from spreading to the rest of the wildlife. Because dead branches and overgrowth are no longer in the way, trees can receive plenty of air circulation and sunlight, further promoting healthy growth.

Supplies Aesthetic Appeal

Approximately 90% of homeowners feel it's important to maintain their yard, including their backyard, according to Harris, and two out of three backyard owners would hire arborist companies to help them maintain woody plants like trees and shrubs. That's because a properly maintained yard, including the trees, instantly increases the curb appeal of any home. This can help properties sell faster, increase home value, and ensure the neighborhood doesn't look rundown or unkempt.

Enhances Safety

Overgrown tree branches are more than just unsightly. They pose a threat to homeowners, property, and visitors. Tree branches overgrown near power lines increase the risk of an electrical fire that can spread throughout your home or to your neighbor's house. Too heavy branches are likely to fall, especially during winter when they're covered in heavy snow. This can cause property damage or injuries, and homeowners will likely have to foot the bill.

Protects Infrastructure

Tree branches that are allowed to grow out of control may damage important structures. Tree branches can fall on houses or the garage, causing costly damage. Fences that suffer this damage must be replaced, and other structures, such as fountains and ponds, can suffer the same fate. It's best to protect structures on your property by working with professional arborist companies to keep trees beautifully trimmed.

Provides Fruit Production

Homeowners with fruit-bearing trees will appreciate the increased fruit production that goes hand-in-hand with properly trimmed trees. Fruit-bearing trees that are maintained often produce higher yields when maintained due to the increased airflow, easy access to sunlight, and overall better health. Not only will you enjoy a higher yield, but you'll also enjoy easier access to your fruit because overgrown branches won't be in the way.

Working with an arborist company will ensure that your trees are trimmed flawlessly, promising better health, higher fruit production, and increased safety. Contact J&C Tree Experts to discuss how we can help you maintain your yard today!
