In Lafayette, Colorado, we love our community’s trees. In fact, Lafayette is a member of Tree City USA, a nationwide arbor movement that recognizes cities that meet core standards of sound urban forestry management. If your property is a part of our area’s beautiful urban forest, it’s important you keep your trees properly maintained to help them live long, healthy lives. Regular tree trimming and pruning is a vital part of keeping your trees—and your property—in the best condition they can be.

Protecting Your Trees, Protecting Your Property

You probably already know that routine tree trimming and pruning is an excellent way to keep your trees in good condition—but did you know that routine tree trimming is a wonderful way to protect your surrounding property, as well? Lafayette’s occasional high winds and heavy snow loads threaten trees with improperly maintained limbs. These broken limbs are an entry point for both insects and disease, which can damage your tree. Plus, weak or broken limbs pose a threat to anyone or anything below the tree. With appropriate tree trimming, however, your trees can be trimmed away from any surrounding structures or power lines, and the tree’s canopy can be reasonably thinned. This helps keep your trees healthy and your property safe!

There are several ways to tell if your Lafayette, Colorado property’s trees are in need of trimming. Have you noticed your trees looking a little overgrown? Do they have leaves and branches that are growing so tightly together that they’re competing for space and sunlight? Do you see bare branches with little or no leaf growth? If you spot these issues, give us a call. Our ISA Certified Arborists can help you get your trees looking healthy and beautiful once again!
