Homeowners in Spokane, WA often choose to save a few dollars when they feel confident enough to tackle things on their own. However, tree trimming is a job better left to the experts if you want your trees to be healthy and aesthetically pleasing while preventing unwanted hazards. In fact, it’s important to hire a professional if you want to ensure your trees grow properly. That’s why Westcoast Tree Care wants to provide you with the top six reasons tree trimming should always be left to a certified arborist.
Knowledge and Training
A certified arborist has the knowledge, and experience to trim and prune a tree properly. They are professionally trained and certified in the art and science of planting, caring for, and maintaining individual trees. Not only do they know where a tree should be trimmed they can properly identify problem areas whereas a homeowner may not. By hiring a certified arborist you will not only minimize the risk of causing excess and irreversible damage that can result from improper trimming but ensure the safety of you and your loved ones as well.
Protect Your Property
Tree trimming requires the necessary skills and knowledge to safely handle common tree care hazards. When you trim a tree yourself, you run the risk of having a limb or branch fall, putting your home, car or people below at risk. By having your trees professionally trimmed by a certified arborist, you will not only keep them structurally sound, you will also prevent any unwanted damage to your home and property while keeping you and your loved ones safe.
Accident Prevention
Unless you’re a certified arborist, working from a bucket or a ladder with heavy equipment can be extremely dangerous. In fact, many homeowners have been injured or even killed by attempting to trim a tree themselves. At Westcoast Tree Care, we know firsthand how dangerous trimming a tree care can be. That’s why hiring a certified arborist should never be taken lightly. If a tree is damaged, diseased or dead, it’s important to call a professional to prevent potential accidents from occurring.
Disease Detection
Like all living creatures, trees are susceptible to infection and disease. If left untreated, a tree can die or even infect nearby trees. While early detection is the key to controlling a situation before it spreads, common diseases are not always easy to identify. That’s why it’s important to hire a certified arborist to help you detect and get control of a situation before it gets out of hand.
Improved Aesthetics
The result of DIY tree care can be ugly and irreversible. A certified arborist has years of experience trimming and pruning trees to boost the curb appeal of your home and property. Having a tree professionally trimmed will not only shape a tree to make is aesthetically pleasing but smooth out uneven growth patterns to help it to look more beautiful no matter the season.
