Must Read: Why You Should Avoid DIY Pruning

RICHMOND HILL, Ontario - Nov. 20, 2019 - PRLog -- A properly pruned tree will look beautiful and stay healthy long-term. The best way to ensure that your trees are correctly pruned is to hire a certified arborist from Five Star Tree Care. An arborist is not only trained on how to prune a wide variety of tree species but can also on how to spot disease or injury on your trees. Here are a few reasons you should leave pruning to the professionals.

Topping & Lopping
Cutting branches outside of the node or union is called lopping. This most often is done to shape a tree. This not only disrupts the growth pattern, but it can also make the branch structures weak. Anything that weakens your tree makes it more prone to fungal infections. Infected or sick trees can be a danger to your home and property.

Avoid Mistakes
It is easy to make a mistake if you are not 100% sure of what you are doing. A trained arborist will evaluate your tree ahead of any cuts to ensure that there are no accidents. Using dull tools can leave jagged cuts that are hard to heal. A professional will use sharp, sanitized tools that cut cleanly and don't spread disease.
