Hire a Tree Pruning Service in Oak Creek … For All the Right Reasons!

Ask a Oak Creek property owner why a branch should be cut from a tree, and their answer would likely be: It’s dead. And yes, this is a sound reason to do so.

Dead or broken limbs certainly pose safety hazards to fall on people, homes or vehicles. This scenario is the most common pruning need.

It’s not the only one, however. Trees need trimming for many reasons.

The others? Cutting off diseased parts to avoid spread. Structural pruning to ensure long-term growth, health and aesthetics. Trimming limbs that are rubbing against others, possibly opening wounds that allow insects and disease in.

The advisable approach is having a Certified Arborist inspect your trees, and hiring a tree trimming service in Oak Creek. Even better, contact Dorshak Tree Specialists, and let its experienced professionals (including seven Certified Arborists) handle all your trees’ needs!

Proactive tree pruning makes sense on many levels. Removing weak or fractured limbs eliminates risk of their snapping in high winds. Shaping a tree prevents its branches from scratching against structures, dropping debris on roofs and in gutters, or dripping sap on vehicles.

The process of tree pruning is more involved than firing up a chainsaw and cutting away, though. The tree pruning service professionals at Dorshak Tree Specialists are trained in the right way to remove limbs – and, as importantly, which ones to cut.

Every branch pruned should have a reason for doing so. Each cut creates a wound, a possible pathway for insects or disease to attack. Trimming too much, or too little, can harm a tree and begin a long downward spiral.

Reaching high limbs is a challenge unto itself. Dorshak Tree Specialists uses a spider lift or bucket truck to reach many. Experienced climbers prune in tight spots where machinery doesn’t fit.

In Oak Creek, some tree species should not be trimmed when they’re wet. Others, such as oaks and American elms, should be pruned during winter to minimize risk of Oak Wilt or Dutch elm disease. Such knowledge can prevent well-intentioned tree work from doing more long-term harm than good.

How do you know which trees to prune, and when? Fortunately, you don’t have to. Contact Dorshak Tree Specialists for an inspection by a Certified Arborist, and tree trimming services by a company with more than three decades of professional experience service residents in Oak Creek.

The reasons to do so are abundant. Topping the list are keeping your trees healthy, and loved ones and property safe. If posed as a question, these would undoubtedly be everyone’s answers.
