“Crew leader was informative about how trees would be cut and was open to my questions and concerns. Work was completed quickly and efficiently. My trees looked great at completion of trimming and I was really pleased at the difference. Thank you, Thornton Trees.” Filomena in a recent Google Review.
Periodic tree trimming helps to promote the health and vitality of your trees in several ways. By removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches, you prevent the spread of decay and diseases, allowing the tree to allocate its natural resources more efficiently to healthy growth.
Leaving a broken branch hanging in the tree is not only a hazard but also invites pests or pathogens to enter the tree causing further damage. By cutting the limb back to its attachment site the tree is better able to compartmentalize the problem and prevent issues before they start.
All of our crews are equipped with man-lifts that enable them to safely reach heights up to 65′ from the ground. We don’t climb trees like a squirrel with a chain saw dangling from a tool belt. By using our professional equipment we can thoroughly address your trees needs in a fraction of the time compared to using ropes and ladders, all while keeping our crew and your property safe. We can do as much or as little as you want. Our goal is to provide the optimal outcome for the tree while still addressing the areas you want improved.
Tree Pruning Strengthens Your Trees
Another goal with tree pruning is to help establish a strong and well-balanced tree structure. By selectively removing weak, crossing, or overcrowded branches, you enhance the tree’s structural integrity, reducing the likelihood of branch failure during storms or high winds. Trimming also encourages the development of a sturdy central leader and proper branch spacing, promoting a more stable and aesthetically pleasing tree form.
You may well know that overgrown or structurally compromised trees can pose safety hazards to you and your family. We are regularly called out to address trees rubbing on roofs and gutters, encroaching on walkways, or to address broken limbs that have blocked people from entering their homes. Preventative pruning helps eliminate hazardous branches that may be at risk of falling, especially during the severe weather conditions we get frequently here in the Abilene, TX area. By proactively removing dead limbs and reducing the weight of branches, you minimize the risk of property damage, personal injury, and utility line interference which is super important as a business or homeowner. Sometimes a tree is more dead than alive and when all else fails we will remove entire trees if you choose.
Remember that proper trimming practices require knowledge and skill to ensure the health and longevity of your trees. It’s recommended to consult with us and let us assess your specific pruning needs and carry out the pruning tasks safely and effectively.
