Q. What is the purpose of tree pruning?

Trees must be trimmed or pruned on a regular basis, and branches may need to be removed to ensure the tree's health and the safety of your family and property, as well as adjoining land around Johnson City. Tree pruning is an important part of yard maintenance for a multitude of reasons, and Green Tree Care is here for you! The USDA recommends trimming trees for safety first, then for health, and ultimately for beauty. Let's take a deeper look at each of these benefits for Johnson City residents and business owners:

Maintain the security of your property!

One important reason for tree trimming is to remove branches that might fall or droop and cause damage to property or people.

For the benefit of mankind, tree health!

Healthy trees contribute to the production of oxygen.

The removal of dead or diseased branches can improve the tree's overall health now and in the future. Furthermore, pruning may help trees build stronger core structures, helping them to withstand weather.

Physical appearance and aesthetics are crucial! Trimming a tree may improve both its aesthetic appearance and its flower or fruit yield, and at Green Tree care, we understand the importance of that to our environment.

Q: How often should you trim your trees?

If you are familiar with the Arbor Day Foundation, they suggest pruning or trimming trees once a year during the dormant season, which varies based on species and location. • The tree's growth reduces sight for people and automobiles, especially near intersections; and • The tree's limbs interfere with electricity lines. It is just too dangerous to work near power lines, therefore request that your local utility company do the task. If you believe a tree should be cut because it is causing damage to your property or is a safety threat, please contact us at 423-455-9668.

Q: How can you securely prune your trees?

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the most important rule to follow while chopping down a tree is personal safety.
