Must Read Blog: Common Tree Trimming Mistakes Made by Homeowners

RICHMOND HILL, Ontario - March 17, 2020 - PRLog -- Most homeowners assume that tree trimming is simple and believe they can do it themselves over the weekend. Although, tree trimming is a very dangerous endeavor that claims at least 100 lives annually not to mention twice as many injuries. Without the right trimming tools and the knowledge of how to use them, tree trimming can be just as harmful to you as so the tree.

We are the area's premier tree experts and we want to ensure that the trees on your property thrive. We always use advanced techniques when pruning, trimming and removing a tree to keep your plants safe and your property intact. While trimming your trees sounds simple, there are a few reasons Five Star Tree Services suggest that you leave it up to the professionals.

Avoid Tree Topping
Tree topping is one of the most harmful practices a homeowner can perform on a tree. Many tree care companies that are not properly trained also use tree topping as a pruning technique. This form of trimming cuts off the top of the tree, called the crown, with no forethought or care. When the top of the tree is simply cut off, especially when it is intended to limit growth, it can result in tree failure. Tree topping will trigger the branches to grow out to the sides as well as cause sprouts to form at the base of the tree. In addition, topping leaves a tree open to disease and pests that may have otherwise been repelled.
