The trees on your property need regular care. One of the best ways to do so is regular trimming. If you see the following signs, it's time to hire such tree services.

1. Lack of Foliage

Now that spring is here, be mindful of how leaves are coming in on your trees. If you have fruit trees, you should also be prepared for those buds to start flowering. However, if there are issues with leaves or fruit growth, it may be due to a lot of pruning and trimming in the past. Regular trimming can help your trees produce more leaves and fruit on an annual basis.

2. Heavy Branches

If those branches are too large and heavy, they may eventually fall unexpectedly. Hot, dry environments can cause sudden breakage in branches. Even if the tree is healthy, larger trees with branches that extend further than the trunk can support can cause branches to fall./p>

3. Roof Damage

Your roof protects your home from the elements. If there is damage like cracks or holes, it can create leaks. When water leaks into your home, it can damage your foundation and create a breeding ground for mold. If you have large trees near your home, those branches can scrape your roof.

4. Pests or Fungus

Trees can get sick like any other life form. Signs of tree illness may show up by fungus on their trunk or branches. You may also notice certain insects invading your tree. Those insects may be the cause of the illness or are attracted to parts that are beginning to decay. Regular tree services can remove any diseased parts of the tree before it spreads any further.

5. Seasonal Change

The time of year affects your trimming needs. According to Bob Vila, you should annually trim your trees around winter time. While it is ideal timing to trim your trees during winter to prevent damage, spring and summer trimming also has benefits. If you trim your trees during spring, you can allow your tree the entire growing season to properly heal. Trimming during the summer cuts down on the amount of pruning needed later in the year.

A big tree with large branches can be a beautiful sight, but you shouldn't let it get out of control. With professional tree services, you can ensure your trees are always healthy and won't be a safety issue.
