Arborist Pruning vs. Landscaper
Should I hire an arborist to prune my trees?
We look at trees everyday. Most people will not notice the difference of proper vs improper pruning but that doesn’t mean it is not important to do it correctly.
Sometimes improper pruning is easy to spot with huge stubs sticking out of a trunk. Other times the damage is not so easy to recognize. Cutting too much or not enough will leave areas that will decay and allow disease to enter the tree.
The importance of making proper cuts cannot be stressed enough. A licensed professional not only knows where to cut but what to cut. Meaning we select branches to keep and branches to prune off. Over time this results in a good strong structure for the tree. This helps it to withstand wind, rain, snow, ice and whatever else mother nature throws at it.
There is a lot going on inside a tree. By hiring an arborist such as LaPila Arborists, LLC the job gets done right the first time. We have been called more times that we can recall to fix a tree that a landscaper or “tree guy” hacked up. The customer ends up paying twice. Once to have the tree butchered and once to have it fixed. Hiring a professional in the first place saves money in the long run.
