A few reasons why you should have your trees pruned at least once a year<\/span><\/h2>\n

Hello, everyone. Happy fall! The days are beginning to become a bit shorter and the temperatures are dropping. Up here in Langley, we\u2019re fond of what this wonderful season does to the trees and landscapes. Now that we\u2019re winding down for cooler months spent indoors, we should also start making plans for our backyards and gardens. A healthy spring exterior depends on how a person tends to their gardens, trees, and shrubs in the fall and winter months. One of the most important things that people could plan out is tree pruning. Tree pruning, or tree trimming, is done in the winter months so as to ensure healthy growth in the spring and summer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re going to talk about why we prune trees and why you should schedule a winter tree pruning appointment for your landscaping.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Aesthetic<\/b><\/h3>\n

Simply said, trees that have been pruned in the winter just look better. Overgrown branches and <\/span>twigs make trees look messy and having them professionally pruned will improve the overall aesthetic of the trees. Between dead or diseased branches, straggly twigs, and broken tree parts, a yearly tree pruning can make all the difference. Who wants ugly trees? <\/span><\/p>\n

For Tree Health<\/b><\/h3>\n

You may not realize this, but neglecting to have your trees pruned at least once a year can leave them at risk for disease. When we prune your trees, we remove the dead and overgrown branches that are more vulnerable to diseases and breakage. In the event that you fail to have these branches removed and they attract a disease, your entire tree could be devastated. Pruning also helps to remove other problematic parts of the tree like water sprouts and places where branches tangle within each other. <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s great is that when these dying and old branches are removed, \u00a0there is room for new and healthy branches to grow in place. Not only will the tree look great, but it will be healthy as ever come spring! <\/span><\/p>\n

For Overall Safety<\/b><\/h3>\n

If pets and children are playing in your yard, the last thing that you want is for them to be injured. The dying and weak branches on the tree could very well break off and fall onto whatever or whoever is underneath. Having these hazardous branches and sections removed from your tree improves the overall safety of your backyard. <\/span><\/p>\n
