Tree Service Harrisonburg

Properly trimming trees is important for the health of your tree. Trees that have been trimmed correctly are healthier and more likely to survive pest infestations, storms, and other natural disasters. Trimming trees can also help reduce the risk of damage to your home by reducing wind resistance. In addition, it's important to know how high you should cut branches before they reach a power line or telephone wire so that there is no chance for contact between wires and branches in case of an emergency.

Removing a tree can be a difficult decision since tree add so much in enjoyment and value to a property. However when a tree is damaged beyond regeneration, is leaning dangerously, or is heavily diseased, this can pose a hazard and should be removed. Other times it may be dependent on the preferences of the property owner. Top Tree Service will offer our best recommendation based on our experience but so you can make an informed decision.

It's not a decision you enter into lightly, but when it comes to removing trees, there are many reasons why homeowners should consider calling in a professional.

First of all, the tree may be near power lines, other utilities, or structures that could cause major problems if they come into contact with them during removal. Trees can move in ways that are not foreseen without experience, which can cause dangerous hazards. Secondly, the tree will have to be cut up before it is hauled away and this can create quite an unsightly mess on your property and surrounding area in the meantime. Finally, most homeowners don't realize how difficult it is to remove a large tree or stump without causing unforeseen damage - but these are just some of the possible consequences of doing so yourself.

It's difficult to answer this question with absolute certainty, as it depends on the type of tree that needs trimming and a variety of other factors. It is safe to say, however, that trees left untrimmed often grow in an uncontrolled manner which can lead to them becoming unstable or even damaging property nearby due to their weight. 

Ultimately, trimming is a part of regular tree maintenance and will lead to longer lasting trees, that grow in a more pleasing manner, stay healthier, and prevent them from becoming a hazard.

Depending on the specific type of tree can influence the decision of what season for tree service work. Of course, any time a tree comes down or is a hazard, we will come out and take care of it. In general though, Winter is the perfect time to trim trees. At this time of year, leaves are gone and branches are clear of dead wood, which makes for a clearer view of what needs to be trimmed up.

This also gives you a chance to inspect your tree more closely before it starts sprouting new leaves in the spring.

The best time of day to trim trees is in the morning when their sap level is low, so they won't bleed as much when you cut them.

A tree growing very near a house can offer shade and protection for a home, as well as beauty. Sometimes, though, these trees can also pose a hazard. Growing branches may damage your exterior and cause rot on the roof due to leaves or sticks accumulating there, trapping in moisture. Roots from large trees could destroy the foundation of your house which may lead to cracks or other issues. Roots can also infiltrate and destroy plumbing pipes.

Removing a tree that is close to your house can be tricky, but it can be done safely by an experienced tree service company such as Tops Tree Service Harrisonburg. We can assess what hazards it may pose, the overall health of the tree, and make recommendations on what future care should be done or if the tree should simply be removed before causing further damage.
