TLC For Your Trees: 5 Reasons to Invest in Tree Pruning Today

When considering your grounds care and maintenance needs, weed removal and land clearance are often top priorities. But it is equally important to take time for your trees. If your tree is giving you trouble, why not consider investing in some carefully administered tree surgery, instead of resorting to a drastic chop.

GMCB’s expert arborists or tree surgeons are highly skilled professionals dedicated to taking care of your trees. One way we can do this is through regular pruning, which is the process of strategically cutting back or trimming foliage and branches. This can benefit your tree in a number of unexpected ways - read on to find out more.

Aesthetic Value

A well-trimmed tree will always look a little more suave than an untamed one, and regular pruning will help to maintain a desired shape, whether it be an exotically styled topiary or a classically shaped elm. This neatness will also boost the value of your business, where proper ground maintenance indicates financial success.

Growth Promotion

Regular pruning ensures that your tree will continue to grow at a healthy pace. By removing excess branches, you can increase the quantity of nutrients that reach the remaining offshoots. The tree will deliver the energy it absorbs from the soil more efficiently, producing healthier leaves, as well as an increase in fruit or blossom.

Disease Prevention

Our qualified tree surgeons excel in spotting early signs of disease in leaves and branches. Spotting these signs quickly allows the diseased areas to be removed through pruning, preventing further infection and safeguarding the remainder of the tree. Our surgeons will be able to tell you if the disease is treatable through pruning, or if further action is required.

Safe Practice

Pruning is an excellent preventative measure when it comes to taking safety precautions on your site. Falling branches can cause expensive property damage as well as posing a threat to personal safety. By removing decaying or heavy branches, pruning prevents any unwanted accidents, saving you money in the long run.

Sunlight Boost

By removing unwanted leaves and branches, you can guarantee that the tree’s remaining foliage will have better access to the sun, boosting the photosynthesis process for previously concealed parts of the tree. Pruning brightens your day too - tree trimming can allow for more sunlight to reach your property and the surrounding grounds.
