Is your yard or property looking a little like an enchanted forest lately? You may be reluctant to cut down some of your trees, but don’t let that reluctance stop you from thinning your trees. Just like weeding your garden, thinning trees in your yard can actually help your other trees thrive and live longer, healthier lives, not to mention making your property more beautiful. Let’s take a moment to review a few of the benefits of thinning trees.
Healthier Trees
Tree thinning has been shown to allow the trees left behind to thrive in ways they were unable to before. Fewer trees drawing moisture and nutrients from the soil means that the individual trees remaining have greater access to the things they need to survive, not to mention better access to the all-important sunlight, if your trees’ canopies overlapped. Better nutrition means your trees will grow larger and more beautiful and become more resistant to insects, disease, and the perils of drought conditions.
Healthier Lawn & Plants
Fewer trees means more sunlight reaches the ground, and that means your shrubberies and flower gardens will benefit from the change, as well as your grass and vegetable and fruit gardens. If you love being outdoors, thinning your trees could mean more time gardening than ever before for you!
Increased Property Value
Choosing to thin the trees on your property means that you can choose only the most visually and aesthetically appealing trees to remain. A more beautiful lawn means better curb appeal, and that means increased property value for your efforts.
