4. Tree Trimming | Main Line
Tree trimming involves the cutting and removal of smaller branches
from a tree to keep it healthy and safe. Unfortunately, the term often
gets confused with indiscriminate cutting and topping, which
actually cause further problems.
Trimming often involves timing as much as it does actual cutting.
For many types of trees, the removal of branches should only
happen at certain times of year. For example, at certain times of
year maples will bleed sap from their cuts, causing decorative
problems. Dogwoods and Oaks have to be cut only at certain times
of year or pests and viruses can get into the tree and kill it.

7. Tree trimming also involves skill and knowledge of how to cut a tree
branch as well. Just arbitrarily cutting a large branch at its end causes
the cut area to grow dozens of smaller branches that grow straight up,
named water sprouts. This behavior makes a tree look both odd as well
as misshaped over time. Cutting branches and leaving stumps versus
cutting next to the tree skin stops the tree from healing completely and
closing off the wound with hard bark. This too can weaken the tree's
immune system. Most professional trimmers cut branches at the trunk
collar which allows fast healing by the tree to close off the cut.
Trimming safety is also paramount during cutting. Larger tree limbs are
extremely heavy and come down quickly as soon as they are even
partially separated from the tree structure. Due to the density of wood,
these branches can be hundreds of pounds in weight, causing serious
injury if a person is caught underneath. Cutting higher level branches
also requires special climbing and harnesses to avoid falls and slips well
over two stories high at times. Professional trimmers often use specific
equipment for such work that many amateur gardeners are not aware of.

10. Tree Trimming Services:
Tree trimming provides a healthy service of removing
excess branches from a tree, allowing it to grow
stronger and healthier. However, the branches cut
need to be done in a certain format to ensure
continued growth of the tree in the right way.
Additionally, proper safety procedures and equipment
should always be used, especially with larger trees and
heavy branches. Failure to follow these precautions
can result in serious injury and even death.
