Trees provide shade and beauty to any property. Well-groomed trees are visually appealing and healthy. Owners may not realize that ignoring their trees could be dangerous. An overgrown tree is more likely to cause accidental damage to property and people. Tree Cutting Services in Bronx NY will prune your trees to make sure they are healthy and safe.
Keeping trees trimmed improves their appearance and health. Pruning extra branches will shape the tree and prevent overcrowding. This will also improve air circulation in the tree and the landscape below. Trimmed trees may also improve the view from the windows of nearby homes. Dead, diseased, or insect-infected branches should be removed. Leaving such branches may lead to rot and health issues for the entire tree.
There are many signs your tree could be hazardous and need professional intervention. The areas where large branches or sections of the tree are connected should be U-shaped. A V-shaped connection is more likely to split. Inspect the branches for any cracks each season. Wind, snow, ice, and other weather can weaken a branch. A tree that is leaning may be at-risk for falling. If the soil on one side is lifted with the roots, the situation may be serious. Cavities, peeling bark, or mushroom growth may indicate the tree is diseased or decaying. Sometimes, removal of the affected area will preserve the tree. If the tree is unsafe, it may need to be removed completely. Broken and dead branches are at risk for falling from the tree and should be removed promptly to prevent any accidents. Even smaller branches that are only an inch in diameter can cause serious injuries or death.
A homeowner’s insurance policy may require that you keep your trees trimmed. Large branches at risk for falling can damage property. Roofs and cars have needed significant repairs after being struck by falling branches. Unsafe trees and branches are also a risk for injuring or even killing people who happen to be in the projection line when it falls. Trees that grow into electrical wiring are especially dangerous. Power lines may become entangled in branches or be damaged during storms.
Maintaining a tree is important for its beauty, health, and for the safety of people and property. For more information on tree cutting services in Bronx NY, visit website.
