why choose the correct tree surgeon

Choosing the correct tree surgeon, such as Bennett's Tree Care, is crucial when it comes to maintaining and enhancing the value of your property. Trees, especially mature ones, offer numerous benefits, including breathtaking beauty, enhanced curb appeal, and valuable shade. They provide a serene outdoor environment and serve as havens for various animals and insects.

However, when trees are not well-maintained, they can quickly become unsightly and even pose a liability. Neglecting tree maintenance can lead to potential injuries and property damage caused by fallen limbs, tree diseases, and other hazards. To ensure the longevity, attractiveness, and value of your trees, it is essential to regularly prune them by removing dead or overgrown branches.

Pruning goes beyond safety, health, and value considerations. Properly executed pruning not only prevents excessive limb growth but also promotes overall tree health by encouraging new growth.

Determining the ideal pruning frequency and timing can be a complex task. Should you prune annually, semi-annually, or only as needed? Moreover, should the timing of pruning be species-dependent, such as in winter before new growth or after late summer to address damage from high winds and heavy rains?

So, when is the best time to prune trees?

In their natural woodland environment, trees require no scheduled pruning. Natural pruning occurs throughout the year due to factors like wildlife, wind, precipitation, and the growth of surrounding vegetation.

However, around our homes, tree pruning becomes a vital aspect of responsible tree ownership. Understanding when to prune is the initial step in effectively caring for your valuable trees. Ideally, pruning should be conducted during the dormant phase of the tree's growth cycle. Pruning trees while dormant facilitates faster healing of cut wounds, minimizing the risk of disease and insect infestation.


 

  1. Reducing tree failure: removing a small part of a tree’s crown places less mechanical stress on the tree and improves its structural integrity.

  2. Improve the tree’s health: crown reduction improves tree health by eliminating dry, rotted, and diseased branches that may spread tree-killing diseases such as oak wilt and Dutch elm diseases.

  3. Improve the tree’s aesthetics: crown reduction improves the overall tree appearance because deformed and overextended branches are removed or shortened to maintain a more appealing tree structure.

  4. Improves clearance: crown reduction has a two-fold effect of keeping the upper tree branches away from overhead street lighting and utility lines and provides under clearance through shortened lower branches.

  5. Improved views: crown reduction through pruning, raising, thinning, topping, or pollarding of live branches improves views of the neighborhood and surrounding scenery.

  6. Shade reduction: an effect of performing crown reduction is that more sunlight is released to the undergrowth (shrubs and grasses beneath the tree canopy) when part of the thick crown canopy is removed.

  7. Increased reproduction: fruit and flower-bearing activities of certain trees increase significantly after performing crown reduction.
