Benefits of A Certified Arborist | Part 2

Apr302018

Homeowners in Lake Oswego hire Westcoast Tree Care to keep their trees healthy and vibrant. However, there are also many homeowners who don’t understand the importance of our preventative tree care services. While trees are something most homeowners have, they don’t always realize the upkeep required to keep them beautiful and safe. While trees are a soothing part of nature, there’s actually a lot of work that goes into keeping them healthy and alive. For example, tree pruning and regular trimmings are things that will keep your trees safe, well-structured and aesthetically pleasing in the process.

While homeowners often try to take on these tasks themselves, tree care is a job best left to the professionals. Only a certified arborist can ensure a job gets done properly while maintaining the safety, health and structural integrity of a tree. That’s why Westcoast Tree Care would like to provide you with part 2 of our series of the benefits of hiring a certified arborist in Lake Oswego.

Benefits of Hiring a Certified Arborist in Lake Oswego

Keep Your Trees Strong

Pruning deadwood and weak or undeveloped branches will ensure the safety of your tree while allowing healthier, stronger ones to grow. Pruning will also eliminate the chance of unpredictable falling limbs during seasons of extreme weather.

Additionally, pruning will improve the aesthetic look of your trees by keeping them relatively symmetrical. This will also ensure they are well-structured by keeping them balanced. For example, if one side of a tree grows fuller than the other, a tree could potentially fall over from the weight, damaging nearby property structures.

Keep Your Trees Healthy

Preventative tree care is not only good for a tree’s structure but it’s overall health as well. Deadwood, for example, can get in the way of stronger branches, preventing them from getting the light and air they need to grow. Additionally, branches that grow to close together can end up competing for the same space and sunlight. This can cause a normally healthy tree to become malnourished and weak. Preventative tree care services like pruning and windsail reduction can help air and sunlight circulate throughout the tree.

Property Values Rise

No matter the tree, preventative tree care maintenance will maintain an attractive property. For those looking to sell, the first impression of potential homebuyers is important. Homeowners want to ensure they set their home apart from others so they can attract a buyer who will pay top dollar for their property.

Just like a home itself, it’s important to create a sense of balance in your yard. If your trees look overgrown, unhealthy, and neglected, it will deter people. Preventative tree care maintenance, on the other hand, will keep your property visually appealing which will pay off in the end.
