Preventative Pruning: Keeping Your Home Safe from Tree Damage

When a tree is growing too close to the house it shades the home, which can increase energy costs and creates a perfect environment for critters that will dig into the foundation or chew through siding. It is important to keep a 10 to 20 foot clearance from your house and regularly prune the lower branches of any trees that are growing close.

It is recommended to hire a professional tree trimming service when dealing with large trees, especially ones near the roofline of your home. If you decide to take on this project yourself, it is important to be safe by working with a ladder and having another person present to help with the job. It is also a good idea to wear gloves when handling wood and sharp tools.
