For Your Safety
“If you have kids, you know that they are curious and love to climb and explore. It’s a wonderful thing to allow kids to be kids and explore, but it’s important that they have a safe environment to do just that,” said Dan Michura of Tree Squad, a Minneapolis tree service. “By analyzing your yards trees, take note of any weak or hazardous limbs that could potentially be harmful to those spending time in your yard. You also will want to take note of any branches or trees that could fall on your home in the case of bad weather. Trimming up will help keep you, your home, and your family safe.”
For Your Community
“When it comes to helping your community in regards to trimming your trees, you may be questioning what exactly this could mean. Well, if you have trees that are near electrical wires, then you have trees that can potentially interfere with your community’s access to utilize their electricity. By keeping branches and limbs free from electric wires, you will be removing hazards that can cause power outages in your community,” said Brooks Hitchcock, home improvement professional and marketing spokesperson for 651 Carpets.
“Whether you have one or a dozen trees in your property, it is best to evaluate each branch and remove potential hazards that can cause harm or power outages. It is going to be up to you, the homeowner, to take charge to get these potential safety hazards removed from your property. Trimming isn’t just a good idea for trees, but also for bushes and shrubs. Keep them at an appropriate size in order to work well with the rest of your landscape design. Overall, keeping your yard trimmed benefits you, your family, and your community as a whole. That is why it is so important to keep an eye on the growth of your trees, to make sure that they are safe and prevent hazards.
