Princeton Tree Trimming FAQ

Why should I have my trees trimmed?

Not only is it important to you as a homeowner to keep your property looking aesthetic and safe, but the health of your trees are at stake, as well. Overgrown trees are not happy trees. And moreover, they pose a danger to any power lines nearby. The amount of overgrown trees actually increases the amount of power outages, especially in forested states. So for the health of you, your property, and your trees, it's very necessary to have them trimmed on a regular basis.

What should I do before the tree trimming occurs?

It certainly helps to talk with your inspector beforehand. Be sure to address your removal options and directional pruning, to aim it as far away from residencies as possible. To avoid damage to your vehicles, it would help to move all automobiles away from the site of the trimming. And as a rule of thumb, any property should probably be moved as far as conveniently possible from the pruning area. If you have a fence, gate, or a grate, be sure to unlock any of the applicable passages and keep them open. A large amount of deforestation is about to move through. If you have pets, animals, or livestock, be sure they are all safe and secured in their appropriate areas.

An excellent question. There are many factors to this, and we'll address them in fashion. The most important factor it the overbrush, trees that grow too much too quick and affect the other trees. The size of the overgrown tree and direction in which it grew are clutch determining factors. Also the wind is an issue, wind direction has an impact on the way that trees sway. The type of tree can also weigh in, certain trees are more problematic than others. And exterior factors will result in different decisions as well, give the line sag, surrounding environment, irrigation, and of course, the proximity to a power line.
