According to estimates, trees can improve property value anywhere from 7% to 19%. Get the most value from your trees with proper care, which includes trimming and pruning. Learn more about the top benefits of tree trimming beyond aesthetics.
Reduced Risk of Falling Branches
Arborists remove dead or diseased branches to reduce the risk of branches that fall over from storms or high winds. Too heavy branches can also be removed, especially if they are growing beyond other branches on a tree.
More Clearance
Tree clearance is important because it keeps from overlapping one another. Trees need space to grow properly and stay healthy. This is especially true if you have a mix of mature trees and newer trees on your property.
Less Wind Resistance and Shade
Trees properly pruned reduce wind resistance, which causes branches to fall if the winds are too high. Less shade is a good thing as well if it allows more sunlight to get to your home when you want natural light in certain rooms or on your lawn.
Improved Tree Health
Properly trimmed trees are less susceptible to disease and insect issues. Trimming also encourages the healthy growth of branches and leaves. And this is what encourages fruit production and healthy flower production.
Reduced Risk of Insect Damage
Insects are less likely to set up shop in healthy trees. And if they do, healthy, properly trimmed trees are less likely to be seriously damaged due to insect issues.
Longer Tree Lifespans
Trees that are trimmed and pruned properly are more likely to live for a long time. Healthy trees have the potential to live for 50 years to more than 100 years.
Less Storm Damage
Proper trimming also reduces the risk of storm damage affecting trees to the point where the trees need to be removed. This also protects your home from trees that fall over or ones that have large branches that damage your property.
Encouraging Proper Tree Growth
When trimming is combined with techniques such as wiring newer trees can be directed to grow healthily. Mature trees can also be encouraged to grow in a more defined way as far as branches go with regular trimming.
Allowing Room for New Additions to Your Landscape
If you have areas in your yard with a lack of direct sunlight, trimming remedies this situation. Trimming allows more light to pass through, which can turn unused spaces on your property into usable spaces where you can grow fruits, spices, or vegetables.
