Default Consider Triming

Mature oak trees are a lot of work. Mature oak trees are also beautiful. Mature oak trees with Spanish Moss are even more work and more beautiful.

Before you cut yours down, consider hiring a good tree service like Tree Frog to do a thorough trimming of the tree. This will clear out a lot of small branches, unnecessary clutter, and shape the tree in an attractive manner. Tree Frog will also cut out the surface roots that cause problems in the lawn.

Proper trimming will also result in a dramatic reduction in the leaves, acorn, and small branches that cause you so much work and aggravation. If your tree overhangs or is close to your house, trimming will greatly reduce the leaves that end up in your rain gutters which can clog the gutters and cause water to back into the soffits and damage the house.
