How would I know if I need a Cleveland tree trimming or tree removal?

It can be hard for a homeowner to know if they should trim a tree and hope the wounds heal over or if the tree is sickly or dead and should just be removed. The VanCuren Tree Service company has 30 years of experience to help Cleveland homeowners when it comes to answering questions about tree trimming versus tree removal.

Cleveland Tree Trimming

If the tree is in good health but is growing to the point where it is getting in the way, then it should be trimmed. Trimming away dying, diseased, or dead branches will help the tree reroute its energy to make new branches. If you notice too much overgrowth, this is another reason to look into getting your tree trimmed. This would include branches that are overhanging parts of your house, physically touching your home, and interfering with electrical cables. In instances where tree branches are too close to your house come with the high risk of property damage and safety issues. Trimming your trees help them grow healthier and stronger but it is no simple task. Make sure to call in a professional to assess your trees and to work on the project.

Cleveland Tree Removal

A tree should be removed when it is dying, diseased, or already 100% dead. When a tree has reached any of these states, it is important to get it removed as soon as possible since the tree structure has been weakened. You never know when either the branches or the whole tree could snap. It then becomes especially dangerous to have a dead tree on your property when there is a possibility or a rain or wind storm. The already weakened tree might not be able to withstand the elements in it’s already weakened state. Tree removal planning and costs vary based upon three main considerations: location, tree size, and species. For example, if there is a large, dead tree situated right next to the house, there will be more costs related to this type of project. This contrasts to, say, one small tree that is located in a wide open field.

VanCuren’s professional team is experienced and knowledgeable about the best option to choose between Cleveland tree removal and tree trimming. If you know one of the trees on your property is already dead, call us to remove it before it is too late. Be proactive. We care about your safety and the safety of your Cleveland property.

5 Signs your Cleveland Tree Needs Trimming

While winter and fall are the best seasons to trim a tree, there are instances where you may want to call a Cleveland tree trimming company, which can happen any time of the year. Look for these five signs that tell you that your tree is ready to be trimmed.

Greenery Overload

It is said that everything is best when in moderation. This also applies to trees. When you look at your tree, can you see through the leaves or branches? If the answer is no, then your tree is due for a trim. When branches are too dense with leaves it is easier to catch the wind and topple over.

Broken Branches

Heavy rain and wind storms can snap off large branches on even the strongest of trees. If you see a lot of branches littering your yard after a storm, the branches need to be cleaned up and the trees should be checked. A tree with a lot of missing branches, or main branches is a risk to your property and to you.

Cankers

Not all cankers look the same as there are a few varied types. In general, a canker looks like an isolated dead patch, a discolored area, or a caved in portion and is caused by a number of things such as: lawnmowers, insects, fungus, or weed killer chemicals. You might need to search around a bit though since it may occur on bark, branches, stems, and twigs. If you see a canker on one of your trees, call a professional at VanCuren to come and inspect. Cankers can leave a tree highly vulnerable to bacteria and fungus among other problems.

Large, Deep Cracks

Fluctuations in temperature are usually the reason why you might find deep cracks in the bark of the tree. For example, in freezing temperatures the water from the tree’s cells freezes which causes the wood to shrink. This shrinkage is not evenly dispersed and the pull between the regular, unfrozen wood and the frozen, dehydrated wood starts to make deep cracks. The frost cracks can be prevented, however by trimming the tree.

Growth Gone Wild

Regularly scheduled trimming for your tree helps keep its shape, strength, and disease-resistant properties. An unbalanced tree is a danger to your property and to you. This especially applies to young trees that require more attention and guidance for growth. Rely on a professional arborist to make sure that trimming is done safely while maintaining the health of your tree.

If you notice any of these five signs on the trees around your property, give our VanCuren professionals a call for a free inspection or to schedule a Cleveland tree trimming project.
