Trees need to be trimmed or pruned regularly, and sometimes branches must be cut off to help ensure the health of the tree and your family's safety. There are many reasons tree trimming can be a vital part of yard maintenance. According to the Department of Agriculture (USDA), trees need to pruned first for safety, next for health and finally for aesthetics. Let's look at each of these benefits:
Safety
Removing branches that may cause damage to property or people if they fall can be a primary reason for tree trimming.
Tree health
Cutting dead or diseased branches may help benefit the overall health of the tree. In addition, pruning may also encourage trees to develop stronger core structures to help withstand the elements.
Aesthetics
Trimming a tree may help accentuate its physical appearance and improve flower or fruit production.
