Don’t wait until you have an actual emergency to take care of your trees.  There are numerous ways trees can become damaged, such as nasty bugs, heavy winds, saturating rains, and rubbing branches, just to name a few.

Unhealthy Trees

Occasionally it may be possible to save an infected tree by strategically pruning the limbs and branches that affected.

In order to improve airflow, the crown of a tree should be thinned. This is especially true if the branches are rubbing together or crossing.  This could cause branches to suddenly fall without warning.  

When Should a Tree Be Removed

If you have a tree that is dying, but not in danger of falling on someone or something, you can allow the tree to die.  Various birds, woodpeckers, etc. would enjoy having a new “home” to feed on and nest.  However, if your tree is infected or could contribute to a dangerous situation, by all means call Donovan to remove it.  The last thing you need is to call your insurance company because your tree caused an accident with a person or property.

Why Should Your Tree be Trimmed

The first reason is obvious — the trees look prettier, they stay healthier and they are safer to be around.  Dead branches can contribute to fire danger, just as leaves can do.  Insects are attracted to dead trees, and various bugs can kill trees and then spread their disease to nearby trees.  By trimming your trees, you actually contribute to their healthy growth.

And, here is a very important reason why your trees should be routinely trimmed. You definitely do not want to let your trees become entangled in wires such as telephone or cable. According to Consumers Energy: “Unfortunately, trees that grow near power lines can be dangerous and cause power outages. Trees are involved in approximately 30 percent of all power outages.”  Only a professional should be contacted to remove these branches!
