There are many reasons to trim your trees, but we’ll cover some of the most common reasons to trim your trees as we look at moving in to the summer months. Hiring a tree service to trim your trees has many benefits.

• You have an expert that evaluates your trees and prunes those trees in a healthy and responsible way.
• Our team cleans your property and will leave it better than we found it.
• There is no risk of injury. If you try yourself, you may fall, slip or otherwise injury yourself.

You can trim or prune almost any age of tree, even mature trees.

Reduce Shade and Wind Resistance

Here in the Southlake area, we experience high winds at different times of the year. Sometimes those are related to a storm, but other times, we just have windy days that produce high speed straight-line winds.

By trimming your trees properly the amount of wind resistance is lessened and the likelihood that your tree will be pulled out of the ground or experience damage is less.

With a tree trimmed, it also reduces shade that can allow sunlight for plants, grass and other vegetation below the trees. Allowing sun through is essential for plant life.

Removing Dead Branches

Sometimes wind or weight will cause a branch to break and be unable to receive the nutrients it needs to thrive. That branch eventually dies. As you know, with dead wood, it is more likely to break off in winds or a storm and land in your lawn, on your car, your house or even a neighbors property. Trimming your tree and removing dead branches is important for the protection of your home, property and your neighbors property. Your insurance company will even appreciate your attention to dead branches and consider it to be a reason why tree trimming is important.

Help Trees Grow

Pruning and trimming your trees allows them to grow and flourish. When your tree is trimmed properly, it provides a stronger root structure and can allow younger branches to grow. Once the tree is trimmed there are less needs to fill for the tree, so the nutrients and water it receives can then be distributed to a smaller amount of limbs, helping the newer or smaller limbs to grow faster.

Tree Trimming In Summer
You’ll hear conflicting information about trimming trees in summer. Some may say that you should really only trim a tree while it is dormant. So really, late fall, winter or early spring. In general this is true, but what about circumstances that require more immediate attention? Dead wood, damaged wood or diseased limbs should be trimmed and removed when you see them. If that is in the summer, that is okay. In the event a summer tree trim is needed, make sure you don’t trim more than 25% of the green limbs at one time.

Tree Planting in Summer
Trees can withstand the summer heat with proper watering and can be planted in the summer months. The only time you should refrain from planting a tree is when the ground is frozen. That doesn’t happen too often in Southlake, but good to keep in mind in case you get a wild hair to plant trees during an ice storm. Once your tree is planted, you can begin to enjoy it immediately, so don’t let the summer heat prevent you from adding a tree to your landscape.
