While trees are certainly a boost to any tree maintenanceproperty’s curb appeal, they must be maintained throughout the year in order to remain healthy - not to mention to have a positive impact on your curb appeal. One important tree maintenance task that you can’t forget to do is to have your trees pruned during the spring.

Neglecting to prune your trees during the spring can have a number of negative effects on your trees. The lack of pruning can result in the development of low limbs, an increased risk of failure, dead branches, obstructed views and the formation of co-dominant stems - just to name a few. All of these negative effects can also result in other issues, such as an increased risk of limbs falling and damaging your property or injuring somebody. Pruning helps keep the limbs strong, reducing the risk that they might fall or weaken due to lightning damage. Additionally, pruning your trees can help create better clearance on your property and help make your property look cleaner and more tidy.

These are some of the reasons pruning is so important. For all of your tree maintenance needs, be sure to contact us at Cartwright Tree Care today.
