Trees happen to be plants that most homeowners will want on their property for several reasons. Not only are you guaranteed shade and subsequently usable living space outdoors, but you can also benefit from fruit trees or simply have your tree enhance the appeal of your garden! Nonetheless, trees do need a degree of upkeep if they are to remain healthy and sturdy. One form of maintenance that should never be overlooked is tree lopping. While you may be sceptical about parts of your tree being cut off, lopping goes a long way in restoring the health of the tree while ensuring it is not a hazard on your property. The following are just a couple of signs that your tree needs lopping to prevent premature removal:
Fractured limbs
The moment you notice that some of the branches on your tree are beginning to appear worse for wear, whether bent out of shape or visibly fractured, then you need to hire an arborist for tree lopping. Broken limbs pose an immediate threat to both your property and any bystanders close to the tree since the limbs can detach completely from the tree. In addition to this, once a branch has lost its integrity, it becomes vulnerable to breaking off when your location experiences high gusts of wind or, worse yet, a severe storm. To avoid extensive damage to your property that will lead you to opt for tree removal, you should have it lopped instead.
Wild and unbridled growth
One misassumption that a good number of homeowners have is believing that the bigger the crown and denser the vegetation, the healthier their tree is, but this is not necessarily the case. For starters, when your tree is growing without any restraint, there is the chance that it could develop crooked. The more misshapen the trunk is, due to heavy branches and dense foliage, the higher the chance that the tree will become incapable of supporting its weight. Secondly, the denser the foliage of the tree, the less sunshine that penetrates the crown and leaves. Thus, you find your backyard is becoming darker and any plants under the tree will begin to die due to insufficient sunlight. Scheduled tree lopping helps avoid these issues. The arborist will not only ensure that the foliage is healthy but they will also ensure that the rest of the plants in your yard are not being affected by the growth of the tree.
