The Benefits of Professional Tree Trimming Services

Unfortunately, trees are not as low-maintenance as the mountains would have you believe. Many trees require annual pruning to maintain their health and appearance.

Unfortunately, trees are not as low-maintenance as the mountains would have you believe. Many trees require annual pruning to maintain their health and appearance. This is especially an issue if the tree grows close to your house or power lines. Below are three reasons to have your trees trimmed regularly.

Safety

Cracked or weak branches are in danger of falling, especially in heavy winds or after a snowfall. Regular trimming can also decrease the tree’s overall weight, curbing the chances that the entire tree will collapse under its own heft.

Property Protection

Left to their own devices, trees can grow over or into your home. Branches over the home can grow under shingles and cause leaks. They can also fall or slam into your home during storms, causing damage that may require expensive repairs. Branches that reach into power lines can cause power loss and damage to other lines.

Improving Tree Health

Pruning trees eliminates potential problems before they become dangerous. It removes dead, weak or infested branches, allowing the tree to live longer and look its best. Removing these limbs may also increase production for blooming or fruiting trees.


Aside from allowing your home to look its best, frequent tree maintenance increases the value of your property. Contact Big Ben’s Tree Service in Jacksonville if you need expert tree trimming service today.
