Tree Service Abbotsford - Your Local Tree Care Specialists

Trees that are cracked and leaning or have dying branches may be a sign that they are becoming a threat to you or your property. It is best to consult with a certified arborist for an in-depth risk assessment if you are still unsure. Vines such as ivy can also cause severe issues and should always be trimmed down and kept from climbing your trees. They hold in moisture, preventing your trees from drying correctly and making them susceptible to rot and decay.

Topping a tree may seem like an immediate solution, but it can have many harmful long-term effects. It leaves a large open wound on the tree, opening it up to disease, insect infestation, and decay. 

The tree will also try to compensate and rapidly grow three to five new tops. Each one of these will create a weak point in the tree's structural integrity, which could turn into a safety issue in the future. Not to mention, it makes the tree aesthetically unappealing. A crown reduction is a more viable solution.

There are substantial advantages to tree trimming. It promotes Springtime growth. It reduces the probability of branches falling and the likelihood of disease and insect infestation. It boosts the aesthetic appeal of trees and prevents limbs from growing overly broad or brittle. It also prevents branches from competing for space and expanding in a manner that creates structural weak points. On average, you should trim trees every two to five years, and a certified tree trimmer can determine the optimal pruning period for your specific trees.

There are usually signs when removing a tree becomes necessary. They may be showing signs of disease and decay or infested with insects that could spread to the other surrounding trees. They may be outgrowing their environment or crowding other trees. High wind conditions can create a potential for damage to buildings and other property.
