Toronto Tree Trimming & Removal

Create a Safer and Beautiful Landscape with Tree Trimming

We know tree trimming is one of the least enjoyable home maintenance tasks. Why? It is one of the most demanding. Still, the last thing you want to do is fall victim to procrastination and watch your tree fall apart before your eyes. Tree trimming is a service that has many benefits, apart from aesthetics. Sure, it makes your home, business, or cityscape more appealing to look at, but it also keeps pedestrians, animals, and vehicles safe by eliminating potential hazards. 

Tree-Trimming As A Safety Measure

The most important benefit you can reap from trimming a tree is safety. It is also an excellent practice for maintaining the tree's health and overall structural integrity. Loose or old branches are at risk of falling from the tree and, if left unchecked, could easily injure passersby. When you are gazing out at the trees decorating your lawn, your first thought shouldn't be, "There's no telling when the next branch will fall." No, you inherently trust the strength and integrity of the woody plant. We don't look at any trees waiting for them to fall apart – that is, unless they are notably old and ridding themselves of decaying body parts.

As your tree ages, it accumulates dying or dead branches that are simply hanging by a thread. These branches are also a fire hazard. Because they are dead, they do not hold the same moisture content as live branches and can catch fire more readily.

Surprisingly, even live branches can pose a severe risk to the environment. Branches that are overgrown and hanging over sidewalks or roadways increase the risk of accidents due to impaired visibility. The excessive length also lends the tree to becoming caught in electrical wiring, which can interfere with cell towers and power outages. Keeping a well-pruned tree is the most reliable safety measure to protect you, your neighbors, and your loved ones from such hazards. 

Improve The Health Of Your Tree By Trimming

Like us, your tree can benefit significantly from a little TLC now and then. Removing dead branches from your tree increases its capacity to grow new branches and leaves, allowing it to absorb more nutrients due to its enhanced ability to photosynthesize. This will also allow your tree to expand its root system, increasing its reach for the absorption of minerals from the soil and thereby strengthening its "immune system," so to speak. If any pests or diseases befall your tree, it will be ready to fight them off with fortified energy stores because you paid close attention and trimmed the dead branches in time.
