Tree Trimming & Pruning in Atlanta

Maintaining a well-manicured yard means maintaining your trees as well. Pruning and tree trimming are two regular maintenance tasks needed to keep your trees healthy and looking their best. At AKA Tree Removal, we offer a wide variety of tree services in Atlanta, including tree trimming and pruning, tree cutting, storm cleanup, and stump removal.

The Importance of Trimming and Pruning

Tree trimming and pruning are important parts of property maintenance. Because trees are living organisms, they will continue to grow and change throughout their lifetimes. Proper care is necessary to prevent disease or damage from affecting the appearance or safety of the trees on your property.

• The major reason trees require pruning is to remove ailing, diseased, or dead branches to prevent them from falling; removing these areas promotes new, healthy growth.
• Tree trimming can also help to thin a tree with a particularly thick canopy, allowing the branches or other plants beneath to receive more sunlight.
• Pruning and trimming can remove crossed or splitting branches before they stress the tree and pose a falling hazard.
• Trees that have sustained minor or even moderate damage can often be saved through proper pruning and trimming practices, rather than opting for complete tree removal.

Three Benefits of Working with an Arborist

While you may think that tree trimming and pruning are tasks you can take care of on your own, there are in fact many benefits you'll receive when you work with a professional arborist. AKA Tree Removal can help you maintain or remove any tree on your property; call us at (404) 713-4305 to schedule tree services in Atlanta.

1. Tree trimming and pruning are not just an art—they are a science as well. Your arborist knows exactly how and when to trim and prune each type of tree on your property to achieve the desired health, safety, and aesthetic results.
2. Many trees cannot be cared for with only the tools you have on hand at home. Specialized equipment and skill is necessary to prune or trim trees that are very large, very tall, very old, or located near power lines and other hazards. Only a professional tree service has the means to handle these tasks safely.
3. After a storm or other unexpected situation, emergency care may be needed for your trees. Emergency tree care can save a tree or prevent a severely damaged tree from damaging your property or putting its occupants at risk. An arborist knows how to handle severely damaged trees and other emergencies safely and effectively.
