Tree Trimming
Most of our Bloomington, IL, customers ask us to perform tree trimming services for safety, health, or aesthetics. For our regular clients, we perform complimentary walk-by inspections of trees in their yards to look for anything out of the ordinary; if we see anything, we will let you know immediately and suggest an appropriate course of action.
Dead branches can be a serious hazard as they are prone to falling and can seriously injure a member of your family or friends if they happen to be beneath when they fall. For safety reasons, we highly recommend inspecting yourself or having a professional inspect your tree for broken or weakened branches, especially after a bad storm.
A tree in poor health can sometimes be saved through trimming or pruning select branches & parts of the tree. We would recommend consulting with a professional before attempting to do this yourself; often, people will unknowingly cut off too much or too little of what needs to be removed and further harm the tree.
Many of our clients simply don’t like it when their tree gets too close to a deck or hangs over the pool. For aesthetic reasons, we come and trim the areas that need to be removed, while continuing to maintain a healthy tree. We never want to over-trim & potentially kill the tree, so we will want to get a good sense of what you’re looking to accomplish before attempting to trim anything unnecessarily.
Tree Removal
When someone comes to us looking to completely remove a tree on their property, we will want to come to the site before quoting & moving forward to assess the situation. A few questions or situations you may find yourself in to determine if a professional should come and quote tree removal services:
- Is the tree dead?
- Are the top branches of the tree dying, or is it in bad general health?
- The tree has suffered from major storm damage and is irreparable
- The tree has grown too close to the house or utility lines
- The roots are affecting the foundation of your home or driveway, and you want to open up your yard/view
- You are sick of picking up leaves, branches, etc.
We can help if any of these ring true in your situation. Don’t hesitate to call the professionals at Scott’s Exterior Maintenance today!
Tree Pruning
There are a few things to consider before pruning your tree yourself. We are tree pruning professionals in Bloomington, Indiana, who are experienced and able to provide feedback and suggestions moving forward to put you and your tree in the best position to succeed. This can best be done by Scott’s tree pruning service in Bloomington, IL.
1. Assess & Decide What to Cut
You don’t want to be left with too much or too little tree! You must make sure the tree’s size & shape will be left intact before you begin pruning. You will certainly want to maintain any branches with a “U” shape and, in most cases, cut any branches with a predominant “V” shape.
2. Cut Any Damaged or Weak Branches
Any branches showing signs of weakness, damage, or sickness should be cut first. These branches can seriously harm the tree and those around it if left unchecked. Cut these fir, st and your tree will be healthier over the long run.
3. Prune Branches That Are Obstructing View or Dangerous
If you would like to improve your backyard view, then you may need to prune certain branches if they are blocking a bedroom window or kitchen view. If you have branches that are hanging over telephone wires, you should certainly have a professional tree trimming service in Bloomington, IL, perform this task. Call Scott’s Exterior Maintenance if this is your situation.
Always trim & prune trees in their dormant season, except in case of immediate danger or safety concerns. This helps reduce scarring & sap loss for the tree, and allows it to grow fresh when the season returns, and can remain healthy for years to come!
