Trees are one of the loveliest parts of living in Tennessee. In addition to making our landscapes beautiful, they provide shade from the hot sun in the summer and shelter for our wildlife. But while trees provide stretching canopies that we all enjoy, their size, alone, can make them dangerous. No different than humans, trees suffer from diseases, and after a while, they die. They can also fall during high winds or storms, causing a severe risk to the property and people under them.
While trees may seem simple, they’re surprisingly complicated. The best person to assess a tree’s health, provide care for it to extend its life and remove a tree when it’s time is a trained arborist like ours at Promier Tree in Johnson City. Here are three reasons to hire a professional for your tree care needs:
1. We put safety first
Trees are hardy, but they require maintenance and care. If branches are weak, they may not withstand leaves blooming in the spring, harsh thunderstorms in the summer or ice accumulation during a winter storm. Any of these incidences can turn a beautiful shade tree into a major potential hazard to your family, your home and your property.
Limbs growing too close to homes or power lines or hanging too low over parking spaces and sidewalks need to be pruned. In fact, all trees need regular pruning to remain healthy.
While you may have a ladder and chainsaw in your garage, you likely don’t have a crane, ropes and harnesses needed to prune a large tree. And you may not have the knowledge about the safest places to cut a tree to prevent damage and injury to yourself and the tree.
Arborists like ours in Kingsport have the tools and the training to safely address all your tree’s needs.
2. Tree health is our specialty
No different than humans, trees can get sick. In fact, some of your trees might be plagued by health issues that your eye isn’t trained to spot. The causes of rust or mildew on trees, for instance, can vary. But our Bristol tree professionals can identify what is ailing a tree and how to address and resolve it.
DIY projects can be fun, but trees are far too big of a liability for you to try to tackle yourself. Save yourself some time on Google and YouTube searches, and give our specialists a call. We can address your tree’s health issues and prevent them from developing in the first place by regularly maintaining your trees.
3. We can keep your property in tip-top shape
In addition to being unsafe, trees that aren’t maintained can be eyesores in your neighborhood. While you may be able to regularly maintain small trees and hedges, our trained arborists in the Tri-cities area know how to manicure mature trees in ways that will add curb appeal to your home and/or business.
Regularly trimming leggy branches from your tree not only looks cleaner, but it lets more sunshine in, granting more light to other plants under the tree and brightening your space and your mood.
