Benefits of tree surgery

At Simpson Arboriculture, we know all about how useful and valuable tree surgery is. There really are so many benefits! But as a customer, it can sometimes be confusing. Do my trees need work? What are the benefits of tree surgery? Is it really a good investment? It is certainly worth you asking these important questions.

As experienced tree surgeons, we would always encourage you to explore the reasons for wanting to carry out tree work. It is also worth considering what your aims are for your garden and property.  This could be aesthetic; it could also be practical. Whatever you’re thinking, we can help!

In this blog we aim to explain and clarify what the benefits of tree surgery are and explore how you and your trees might benefit.

Safety first

Tree surgery helps identify and address potential hazards such as dead branches, diseased trees, or unstable limbs. These things could all pose a risk to your property and your family. We know many of our customers at Simpson Arboriculture want to rule out the risk of a branch or tree failing. The thought of a branch or tree failing can quickly become an ongoing worry. For example, a branch snapping could destroy a fence or summer house. In an even worse scenario, this could cause damage to a house or even injury to a person. Expert tree surgery can eliminate this worry. At Simpson Arboriculture, we use a wide variety of techniques to help remove the risk of a tree failing.

Healthy trees

Another important point is that tree surgery can promote the overall health and vitality of your trees. Our fully qualified arborists at Simpson Arboriculture can help to care for your trees and ensure they thrive and live longer.

Increased Property Value

Well-maintained trees significantly enhance the aesthetic appeal of your property, making it more attractive to potential buyers. Professional tree surgery can improve the overall appearance, which can increase your property’s value. Our team at Simpson Arboriculture would be happy to talk to you about your aims for your garden and help you to achieve this through the right tree work.

Improved Structural Integrity

Tree surgery techniques like pruning and trimming can improve the structural integrity of trees. By removing weak or overgrown branches, you reduce the risk of breakage during storms or high winds, safeguarding your property and nearby structures.

Enhanced Sunlight Exposure

Overgrown trees can block sunlight from reaching your property and garden, inhibiting the growth of other plants. Tree surgery helps maintain a balanced canopy, allowing adequate light penetration and encouraging the growth of undergrowth or garden vegetation. At Simpson Arboriculture, we often carry out crown thinning on trees to achieve this purpose. This can make a huge difference to the amount of light coming into the garden, thus ensuring that homeowners can enjoy their garden through the year.  

Storm Damage Mitigation

Trees that have undergone regular tree surgery are better equipped to withstand severe weather conditions. Proper pruning and maintenance can reduce the likelihood of storm damage, including falling limbs or uprooted trees that could cause significant property damage.

Environmental Sustainability

By investing in tree surgery, you actively contribute to environmental sustainability. Healthy trees provide shade, reduce energy consumption by cooling your property naturally, and act as a habitat for birds and other wildlife, fostering biodiversity.

Trees also play a crucial role in purifying the air by absorbing harmful pollutants and releasing oxygen. Tree surgery ensures the continued health and vitality of trees. This contributes to cleaner air and a healthier environment around your property.
