Mature trees on your property are a wonderful feature. They increase the attractiveness of your landscaping and protect your home. According to House Logic, when trees are properly placed in the area around your home, they can reduce energy costs by as much as 30% for cooling and between 20% and 50% for heating. However, any tree that's close to the house needs to be properly maintained and receive timely tree cutting services. Let's take a closer look!

1. Broken or Damaged Branches

When the branches on your trees start to look a bit unruly, it's time to have them trimmed. Other branch-related signs include broken and damaged branches. It's very important to have them trimmed in a timely manner, as they can cause some serious damage, especially during windstorms. The last thing that anyone wants is to have branches from their tree damage their home or their neighbor's property.

2. Scratches on Your House or Window

Branches should never brush up against your house. This is a situation that you should have addressed right away. If you notice any scratches on your windows or the sides of your home, it's time to call your tree specialist. Don't let your trees cause ongoing damage to your house, have them cut back on a regular basis. This will help keep the tree healthier and prevent it from causing costly damage.

3. Too Much Shade Is Covering Your House

Many homeowners love their trees because of the shade that they provide to their homes. However, sometimes the shade can become overwhelming and make your house feel too dark and gloomy. When you start to feel like it's always dusk outside because of the trees planted close to your home creating too much shade, it's time to have them cut. Properly maintaining your trees will help them to thrive for many years to come. Have your local tree company come out once or twice a year to handle branch trimming and assess the current health of your trees.
