Tree trimming is a very important tree care service function. Trees typically grow well beyond their estimated mature height. This means above the roof of your home, over power lines, and so on. Lower hanging branches and limbs obstruct pedestrian paths, making it difficult for people to walk under them. Trimming the tree’s crown and its lower hanging limbs is the appropriate solution.

Additionally, many trees are negatively impacted by disease, fungus, and lighting strikes. In each instance, limbs die off and the tree is structurally weakened as a result. In order to rejuvenate the tree and avoid cutting it down, Delta Tree Services, Inc. can usually save it by pruning and trimming the affected areas. One of our many services is conducting safety audits of trees on both commercial and residential properties.

The purpose of topping is to reduce a tree’s height, often as means of harvesting its wood. It is most often used as a last resort, to save a tree after all else has failed. After topping, the desire is for new shoots to sprout from the top and grow even denser and quicker than the previous branches.

Pruning a tree will often be done for aesthetic purposes, but it is also completed for the benefit of the tree. Damaged, diseased, or broken limbs can be safety risks for those nearby and for the health of the tree. Removing these branches will also prevent further decay.
