Professional tree trimming services are essential for any property owner. In fact, according to IBISWorld, the tree trimming industry has grown by 9.1% between 2017 and 2022. However, it's entirely possible to neglect this aspect of tree care if you haven't experienced your trees' branches falling and causing damage. Here are three significant risks of not scheduling professional tree trimming services.

1. Personal Safety Risks

A major risk of not having your trees trimmed by professionals is the potential for heavy branches to fall and damage property owners. A tree with dying or damaged limbs is especially vulnerable to severe weather events with strong winds and rain. To do your part in being proactive and preventing the risks of potential injuries that come from falling limbs, ask an expert tree care service for an inspection after a heavy storm to determine if your yard's trees need trimming. You may not be able to detect that any of your tree's limbs are damaged enough to be knocked off by future storms, so turn to a crew of pros to determine what your property needs.

2. Property Damage Risks

Causing damage to your own property or even your neighbor's is a tremendous risk factor for delaying tree trimming work. With property damage comes a heap of costs to amend it. This costly endeavor may require you to replace or repair windows, outdoor furniture, cars, and more. Even legal fees are a possibility if your tree's limbs damage another person's property.

3. Tree Disease Risks

A dependable team of arborists can easily remove dangerous branches and prune the tree correctly to improve the tree's health. A lack of trimming may result in structural defects, resulting in certain species of trees being infected by a disease. This issue can escalate in a yard with multiple trees, as disease can spread from one tree to another.
