What You Need To Know About Tree Trimming

It is not difficult to find people who think that the act of tree pruning and tree cutting should be left to experts. They feel that there is a limit to what can be achieved by a common man. This is partly true and partly false. There are many tree service providers out there who do not have the necessary skill, knowledge, and expertise required to carry out tree care. The sad truth is that they may end up harming your trees or possibly even killing them.

When it comes to tree pruning and tree trimming, there are a few basic steps that all people involved with this activity should adhere to. One of these is to never split or cut down a tree without first ensuring that the wound has been properly tended to. This is especially important if you are cutting down dead, rotting branches because these are the ones that can prove to be the most dangerous. They could come off at an unnatural angle and at a speed far faster than any living human would be able to move.

A second rule is that when pruning or trimming branches, you need to wear ear, eye, and mouth protection. This is because branches are known to fly at high speeds and can often injure you without even noticing it. By wearing protective gear, you will ensure that you and those around you are safe.

A third and final rule when it comes to tree trimming or pruning is that you should only prune trees that have a firm, level surface. This means that you should never cut down healthy trees in order to make way for unhealthy ones. This can lead to compromised tree health and eventually to the death of the entire tree. The best thing to do is to leave healthy trees intact, provided of course that they have the proper tree trimming techniques.

In addition to these rules, there are some things that are simply not acceptable when it comes to tree trimming or tree pruning. For example, when you are tree pruning, you should never make direct contact with any part of the tree aside from the cutting edge. If you accidentally break or damage a branch while trimming, you risk the chance of spreading the wound and creating more damage to the tree. Similarly, when you are bracing a tree, you should always use your hands to support the trunk rather than your feet.

It is also generally prohibited to prune certain species of trees, including elms and maples. This is because doing so may cause the branches to break off at improper angles and therefore compromise the health of the tree. You are also not allowed to prune certain species of shrubs, such as azaleas and rhododendrons. These shrubs are known to spread certain diseases when they are pruned, which can be very harmful to people who are in danger of becoming ill from the diseases carried by these branches.
