Pruning The Trees On Your Property
There can be many types of work that the trees on your property may require over the years. However, trimming and pruning them can be two of the most common.
Pruning Is Not Just For Removing Damaged Branches
There is a common belief that trimming and pruning a tree is only necessary if some of its branches have suffered severe damage. In reality, pruning the tree can provide some other benefits as well. For example, removing branches before they get too close to a home or cause other problems may be a prudent decision. However, it could also be beneficial to prune the trees to help encourage the canopy to grow much thicker. This can be a specialized type of pruning that will require avoiding damaging the growth nodes, but it can make your tree far more thick and lush.
Newly Transplanted Trees Should Be Given Ample Time Before They Are Trimmed
If you have had a tree transplanted on your property, you will want to be sure that you are leaving ample time for the plant to adjust and recover from this process before arranging for it to be trimmed or pruned. During this process, the tree will require a large amount of energy in order to grow and adapt to its new environment. Trimming or pruning the transplanted tree could substantially reduce the amount of energy that its leaves are producing. Additionally, this could place another demand on the tree as it will have to focus some of its energy on healing the areas that were trimmed. This could result in less energy for root development, which could impact its ability to adapt. At a minimum, you should wait at least a year prior to trimming or pruning a transplanted tree, but some may require even longer.
Mulching The Tree Trimmings Can Be A Useful Step
At the conclusion of the tree-trimming process, there will be numerous branches and other types of debris that will have to be managed. While a tree trimming service will be able to haul these materials away from your property, it can also be useful to consider having them mulched instead. This can provide you with high-quality mulch that you will be able to use throughout your property. In fact, it is common for these services to mulch the debris anyway as it will make it easier to haul away. As a result, most of these services can provide you with mulch for a small fee or even for free.
