One of the most obvious reasons to participate in regular tree trimming is to maintain the tree’s appearance, but there are so many other benefits to take into consideration. Overgrown trees often contain dead or dying branches, which may become dangerous to the health of your family or the stability of your power lines. Removing these branches before they break reduces those risks and also prevents further decay. Tree cutting also improves the structure of the tree by preventing the growth of weak branches and increasing sun exposure and air circulation throughout the tree and the underlying landscape.
