Jason Atwood, ISA-certified arborist and owner of Atwood Tree Care, is reminding Benbrook residents that how a tree is pruned can make or break its long-term health.
According to Atwood, the most common problem he sees is over-pruning or trimming done incorrectly, which weakens trees and leaves them vulnerable to disease or decline.
He urges homeowners not to hire just anyone with a chainsaw. Instead, be sure that the crew working on your property includes certified arborists who understand proper pruning techniques.
For more information and to see why trimming the right way matters, visit Atwood Tree Care online or contact a certified arborist before scheduling work.
