(Newswire.net — March 28th, 2013) Arlington, VA — Arlington Tree Services’ lead contractor Lawrence Huver suggests that residents of Arlington take a proactive approach to preventing property damage caused by trees this spring. Many problems that occur during spring’s rapid growth season can be avoided with preventative tree care. Some of these problems include contact with utility lines and property damage caused by falling limbs.
“Spring is the time for rapid plant growth.” Lawrence Huver explained during a recent interview, “Arlington has many large trees that can grow into utility lines, disrupt service, and become hazardous. Property damage, injury and even death can occur if not properly pruned. It’s important for a homeowner to have an Arlington tree service professional evaluate any trees that they think may be at risk.”
On the International Society of Arboriculture’s website, TreesAreGood.com, it states that early spring is the best time to trim a tree; “As a rule, growth is maximized and wound closure is fastest if pruning takes place before the spring growth flush.”
Trees that are properly cared for are healthier and avoid many of the dangers that happen with overgrown trees. Well maintained trees are aesthetically pleasing and generally free from the common problems that the older, more mature trees of Arlington often face.
Trimmed trees are also less likely to produce projectiles during spring thunderstorms and are better suited to withstand the wind and heavy rain showers. As a result of being healthier, they’re resistant to disease and insect infestation and less likely to need tree removal.
Huver adds, “Trimming large trees can be extremely dangerous and is best left for professionals. Improper pruning techniques can actually cause more damage than good. Our arborists have more than ten years experience pruning large trees, are highly trained and required to be licensed and insured.”
