Trees significantly enhance the aesthetics of any landscape. Whether planted in a commercial space or residential property, they need proper care and maintenance to thrive. Tree trimming is an essential factor to maintain their health and beauty.

Here, we give you a low-down on everything you need to know about tree trimming, including its types, benefits, and when to call an expert for help.

What is tree trimming?

It is the process of removing bush overgrowth, diseased parts, and dead branches. It helps reshape, rejuvenate the tree, and maintain its optimal health. Moreover, it facilitates the tree to grow as desired, elevating the aesthetic appeal of an area.

There are mainly four types of tree trimming:

• Fine pruning: It involves removing small branches or limbs to enhance the tree’s appearance.
• Standard pruning: It helps improve tree structure by removing heavier branches.
• Hazard trimming: It’s done for trees that have become a threat to life or property. It involves removing branches thicker than 2 inches.
• Crown reduction trimming: It improves the tree’s condition after significant damage because of a storm or interference with power lines.
