Trimming Tall Trees

Reaching the top of the tree is only the beginning since you'll be required to find a secure position to prevent the risk of falling. The next step is making careful cuts to avoid severe damage to the tree and ensure that falling branches don't injure anyone or damage surrounding structures. A tree care company has a team of professionals who are well-trained and equipped to handle this multi-step process without compromising the well-being of your trees.

Safely Climbing a Tall Tree

Most tree service professionals use climbing gaffs and spurs to access the top quickly. Climbing gaffs are metal spikes attached to a tree care expert's leg, making it easy to climb up and down easily. If there's a tree you want to cut down, climbing gaffs are an excellent choice. However, spurs are not recommended if you only want to trim overgrown or damaged branches because they leave open wounds on the bark that lead to death in specific areas.

The cuts left behind by climbing gaffs also create an opening for diseases and harmful insects to attack the tree, leading to sickness and even tree death. A perfectly healthy tree is not the only thing at risk, and users are advised to ensure they are stable to prevent falling. If you look forward to trimming a long tree in your backyard but lack the expertise and tools required, you should hire a professional to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

Choose a Professional Tree Service Provider

A common mistake most property owners make is searching the internet for a tree care company, which doesn't guarantee professionalism or experience. If the prices offered are too good to be true, chances are the tree service lacks proper certification or is inexperienced.
