Tree Trimming Asheville

Use this additional guidance when selecting a tree service to maintain your trees:
- When trimming a younger tree, assess which branches are best and enhance the structure using those limbs;
- Do not make too big of trim cuts: if a tree is trimmed periodically, you will have cut limbs when they were smaller;
- Use very sharp saws/trimmers to make cuts that are clean. Very dull trimmers/saws rip and tear that will invite insects and disease and also are more difficult to heal;
- A pole pruner or trimmer is the ideal selection for taller trees - it also helps you to remain safely on the ground;
- For mature trees and bigger cuts, it is best to use a professional tree care service. Large and heavy are difficult to cut a heights and then lower safely; and,
- Trim branches and limbs such that you preserve the collar - never cut straight up against the tree trunk.

- Tree Location - a tree near a property structure, such as a home or business, will require extra precautions be taken to ensure there is not damage to these structures. This mean more labor and potentially additional equipment expense.
