Hire a Tree Trimming Service in Buena Vista … For All the Right Reasons!

Ask a Buena Vista homeowner why a branch should be removed from a tree, and their answer would likely be: It’s dead. And yes, this is a good reason to do so.

Dead or fractured limbs certainly pose safety risks to fall on people, homes or vehicles. This scenario is the most obvious trimming need.

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

The others? Removing diseased parts to block spread. Structural pruning to ensure long-term growth, health and aesthetics. Removing 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 Buena Vista. Even better, contact Dorshak Tree Specialists, and let its experienced professionals (including seven Certified Arborists) take care of all your trees’ needs!

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

The process of tree trimming is more complex than firing up a chainsaw and cutting away, though. The tree pruning service professionals at Dorshak Tree Specialists are proficient 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 opens a wound, a potential pathway for insects or disease to attack. Trimming too much, or too little, can injure 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 Buena Vista, 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? Luckily, you don’t have to. Contact Dorshak Tree Specialists for an analysis by a Certified Arborist, and tree pruning services by a company with more than three decades of professional experience service yards in Buena Vista.

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.
