Why Tree Trimming Is Important for Your Business


Trees on commercial properties do more than just make your business look better. They add shade, improve the property's value, and create an inviting feel for your employees and customers alike. But keeping them in good condition involves more than just watering them regularly. You also need to stay on top of routine tree trimming throughout the year. Despite how it might seem, trimming your trees is essential for their long-term health. Here are a few ways that trimming helps your trees.

Makes Your Property Safer
Though every responsible business owner has a comprehensive liability insurance policy in place to protect them from having to pay for customers’ injuries or property damage out of pocket, it’s far better if you never have to file a claim. Unfortunately, fallen branches and tree limbs significantly increase the risk of injury and property damage at your business. By staying on top of routine tree trimming, you’ll reduce the likelihood of branches breaking and falling unexpectedly. That means you’ll keep your customers and your employees safer anytime they’re at your business.

Improves Overall Growth
Believe it or not, letting your trees grow on their own without intervention doesn’t always produce the best growth. Trimming and pruning your trees throughout the year can improve their growth by reducing the amount of underperforming or diseased branches left on the tree. When those problem areas are removed, the tree will have more nutrients available to direct to other branches and limbs that are primed for beautiful, healthy growth. Over time, this can result in more leaves, a thicker canopy, and a stronger-performing tree. 

Reduces the Risk of Diseases
Trees can be vulnerable to diseases and fungal growth, just like other plants. And it tends to happen when the branches or limbs are damaged or not receiving enough nutrients to stave off infection. By staying on top of routine trimming, you’ll be able to remove damaged growth before the damage can impact the rest of the tree. The less damage there is, the stronger your trees will be, and the more easily they’ll be able to fight off the more common plant diseases.

Makes Your Trees Look Nicer
When allowed to grow unchecked, trees can look a little wild—a lot like letting your hair grow without regular haircuts. With regular trimming and pruning, you’ll be able to control and direct the growth. The result is a composed and manicured landscape that shows customers just how much you care about your business.
