As a business owner, it’s important to prevent customer injuries and damage to vehicles in your parking lot(s). One of the most important parts of doing this is preventing fallen branches by regularly trimming your trees. Here are a few of the ways that trimming them can prevent damage to your walkways and parking lots.

Trimming Trees Can Prevent Blocked Traffic

Fallen branches and trees can block pedestrian and vehicle traffic. This can keep customers from reaching you, which can result in significant loss. In addition, falling branches can injure pedestrians.

Branches Can Fall on Vehicles

Fallen branches can cause significant damage to vehicles. This is one of the most important reasons why trees located near a parking lot need regular trimming. Lawsuits for damage to vehicles that occurred as a result of falling branches or trees in your parking lot can be substantial.

Dead Branches Accumulate Over Time if Trees Aren’t Trimmed

Dead limbs are at a high risk of falling, and storms don’t need to be particularly severe to take these branches down. Luckily, regularly trimming your trees will greatly reduce the chances of a dead or dying tree limb falling.

You’ll Be Able to Eliminate Dead and Dying Trees

Trees that are dead or dying are at a very high risk of falling. Fallen trees can cause serious property damage, and the cleanup can be a significant expense. If you get your trees trimmed, ones that are dead or dying will be identified. Thus, you’ll be able to have them removed before they fall.

Trimmed Trees Are Less Likely to Die

Trees that are trimmed regularly tend to be healthier, and there are several reasons for this. First, sunlight is able to reach all the leaves more easily. In addition, trimming can remove branches that are affected by disease, which can prevent the rest of the tree from falling victim to disease.

Trimmed Trees Are More Wind-Resistant

Removing dead and dying branches reduces the overall weight of a tree, and this makes it more resistant to wind. Thus, trimmed trees are less likely to fall during storms.
