Tree Trimming vs. Tree Removal

Taking care of a tree is one of your responsibilities as a landowner. Part of the responsibilities you have as a landowner is to determine if a tree needs trimming or if it has to be removed. There are situations where either choice is the better option. We present here some situations where tree trimming is the better choice and where tree removal is the necessary step.

Tree Trimming

​Periodic trimming is necessary to make sure that a plant grows healthy. You can use trimming to facilitate the growth of a plant as well as to remove diseased branches that may be compromising it. Also, trimming is warranted if there’s a chance that any of its branches can hit neighboring structures. Last but not least, proper trimming is great for aesthetic purposes; it shapes the plant to your desired height and growth pattern.

Tree trimming is your choice if the plant is healthy enough and does not pose a threat to neighboring structures. Periodic trimming can even help a plant grow healthier and bloom to its full potential.

Tree Removal

​There are also situations when the complete removal of a plant is a necessary step. For example, if a plant is dead or near death and you need to safely extract the tree to prevent it from causing damage to your yard and/or the structures surrounding it. You should also remove a tree if it is posing a safety risk; the trunk or its branches can fall or strike objects, causing major damage. A pest-infested tree should also be taken down before it spreads the disease to other plants. 

Tree removal is considered as a step of last resort. When conservative options are not applicable anymore, the best option is to get the tree out in the safest way possible. When removing a tree, it is important to safely take out the trunk and branches, as well as the roots and stump.
