Protect Your Home With Regular Tree Trimming

Many things can impact your home’s value, including the trees you have on your property. Read on to learn more about the top benefits of tree trimming and how it protects your home’s exterior spaces.

Keeping Drivers and Pedestrians Safe

According to the Department of Transportation, 10% of all fatal traffic accidents involve trees. Granted, this doesn’t always mean the tree was at fault. Even so, having your trees trimmed on a regular basis reduces the risk of branches and other debris getting onto nearby sidewalks and streets. After all, 25% percent of all such accidents involve tripping or falling.

Improving Your Home’s Value

Recent national surveys suggest mature trees could add up to 19% to the value of your property. Trimming trees reduces the risk of losing property value. You’ll also have a nice aesthetic for visitors to your home and family members.

Keeping Your Pets Safe

Pets like to pick up things. This can be dangerous with fallen limbs or branches with insects or damaged bark. Keep your pets safe by having flowering trees trimmed before new growth starts in the spring. Trees that normally lose their leaves in the winter should be trimmed in the fall.

Preventing Home Storm Damage

Over the past five years, the costs associated with extreme weather events are nearly $100 billion. Reduce the risk of damage from high winds and storms with annual tree trimming. Tree limbs can damage roofs or windows, weaken porches and detached garages, and harm other exterior structures.

Preventing Costly Roof Repairs

The average cost to repair storm damage to a roof is around $1,000, although it can be much higher if the damage is extensive. Even if a storm isn’t involved, dead or overgrown tree limbs and branches can cause considerable damage to your roof.

Protecting Your Home’s Power Lines

Tree branches touching power lines or falling onto electrical equipment often cause power surges, outages, or flickering. Keep your power lines safe with regular trimming and pruning. This also applies to other exterior utility lines.

Protecting Your Landscape

A nice landscape may increase property value by as much as 10% according to some estimates. Fallen tree branches can damage bushes and damage your flowers and vegetables or other living landscape elements. Nearby trees can also be harmed. Regular tree trimming reduces the risk of costly landscape damage.

"I absolutely recommend them. They did a great job on a variety of trees, were very professional and courteous and cleaned everything up. I had a very large overgrown pepper tree and they trimmed it beautifully. I also had a shapeless pear tree and another almost dead tree. They did a great job with all of them. Bart, their arborist, was very knowledgeable and also listened to my requests and concerns."

"I had four palm trees I wanted removed from my yard and after meeting with Bart a time was agreed upon. His crew was on time and highly professional. They were very careful not to damage anything around the trees during the removal. They also removed all debris and ground the stumps. The whole job went fast and was priced very reasonably. Bart was also very knowledgeable and helpful as to guidance on keeping my other trees healthy and trimmed. I highly recommend Economy Tree Service."
