Trees are the Most Valuable Element of Your Landscaping

Searles Oak

 Searles Oak, Holton, KS 

Ancient but still healthy tree that has been well maintained

Trees take many years to become established, and once established, a large shade tree is simply irreplaceable. We should definitely preserve the mature trees in our communities. Tree branches need a certain amount of light to survive and as a tree's canopy gets denser, some of the lower or inner branches may weaken or die, providing a point of entry for insects carrying disease. Eventually these weakened or dead branches will split or fall off if they aren't trimmed, often in a storm or high wind, causing damage to houses, decks, and other structures.  Sometimes it is also necessary to lighten the load of certain main leaders to improve a tree's structural integrity.

Pruning a tree stimulates new growth and keeps your tree looking balanced and more aesthetically pleasing. Getting rid of the dead and diseased branches keeps your tree healthy and strong for many years to come. As the saying goes, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
