Homeowners Guide to Tree Care
A Homeowner’s Guide to Tree Care
Healthy trees are important to our surroundings. They beautify your landscape, purify the air, and can result in energy savings by providing shade in the hot summer months and wind protection in the cold winter environment. Preventative care is important to keep your trees healthy and growing.
Inspect Your Trees
Checking your tree for signs of poor health is important to stave off symptoms before they become irreversible. Look for trunk decay, loose bark, mushrooms, or other deformed growths. Any abnormalities should be noted and closely watched. Contact us at GP Tree Service if you are unsure of the state of your tree.
Pruning Your Trees
The most common tree maintenance procedure is pruning. Pruning is necessary to remove insect infested, or diseased, branches. No branch should be removed without a valid reason. One should not attempt pruning without knowledge of how such actions will affect the tree growth. Mature trees require experience and special equipment to insure the safety of the pruner. It is advisable to contact your local tree professional to maximize the benefits of pruning.
