The Truth On How Often Should Your Trees Be Trimmed

9/4/2018

As a professional business for tree service in Syracuse, we typically get asked the question, “How often should I trim my trees?” We desire a simple answer, but the response will differ according to certain criteria. So when thinking, “How often should your trees be trimmed?” Your trees hold the answer!

Every species of tree thrives at various rates and has multiple implications for how often it will need trimming. With shade trees, some trees can be pruned every other year. There are ones that can go without a trim for seven years or more. Evergreen trees most times will need little or very few trims if planted in the right location.

Guidelines For How Often Should Your Trees Be Trimmed
A general rule of tree trimming is to try to, when possible, only get rid of 25% of growth from a tree. Trimming more growth will not only severely impact the tree’s health, but it will also create even more growth.

When doing proper tree trimming, three primary tree trimming methods will be used to raise the lower limbs, thin out the crown, and eliminate dying/dead branches. The more often these trimming cuts are made, the better chance your tree will have to recoup from the injury of a trimming cut. Also, it allows trees to be schooled for future growth by calculated cuts.

One of the things property owners usually overlook is the chance to trim trees while they are young. Doing this will craft better health and form for your tree which will lessen the need for future trimming of mature trees, thus reducing your overall tree trimming costs over time.

The best way to tell how frequent to trim your trees is to find a reputable tree care company that has arborists. They can inspect your trees with you and tell you how often you will need to trim various trees throughout your landscape.

They may also be able to help you create a schedule for this sort of work so that you can have it planned throughout the year, trimming trees when it is their time. If you want to get your trees cut correctly when they need to be, ask a Syracuse tree contractor.
