If you want to keep your trees strong, lush, and healthy, consulting a professional arborist is the best way to ensure lasting results. An arborist is uniquely equipped to diagnose and treat tree diseases, safely prune and trim trees, and maintain the stability of older trees. However, many arborists frequently see the same issues on multiple properties, and most wish that they could share a few pieces of advice to property owners.
Below, our team at D & A Tree Surgeons LLC would like to go over three key things that our arborist wants you to know.
- Trees need preventive care. If you wait until severe storm damage occurs to schedule tree services, you might find yourself facing limited options. Investing in regular preventative care is the best way to prevent storm damage, encourage healthy growth, and avoid expensive issues. Tree services like inspections, pruning, and health assessments can offer significant cost savings compared to emergency tree removal services.
- Overwatering can be just as harmful as drought. Most people assume that more water is always better for their trees, but this isn’t entirely true. Roots need both oxygen and water to thrive, so overwatering your tree can actually cause decay.
- Improper pruning can seriously damage your trees. Tree pruning can look easy and straightforward, but improper techniques can cause weakness, increase the risk of disease, and even lead to long-term structural issues. An arborist knows how to safely cut branches to support the health, stability, and growth of the tree, providing lasting benefits to property owners.
