Tree Pruning And How To Increase The Value Of Your Home In Remuera

You can influence the value of your property by eliminating risk, costs or improving the visual appeal of your property.

For example, we have found that there are seven main reasons people call us in to help with their tree care.

•    Avoid damage to your property.  
This is a risk in dry weather as well as in windy, wintery weather.
•    Improve the view from your home by removing overhanging branches.
If you have a potentially great view, what better way to increase the value of your home?
•    Gain extra light in your house or garden
This is especially so with tree topping or thinning out the branches.
•    Extend the life of your tree
Pruning trees allows more light and air to penetrate your tree, enhancing growth, making your tree stronger.
•    Improve the shape of your tree
Tree shaping can have a dramatic effect as trees can grow in many directions due to different weather conditions.  But a reasonably symmetrical tree shape is much more visually appealing.
•    Remove the risk of injury to your family, friends and neighbours
As trees age, branches can become week or decay.  Branches don’t need strong wind to fall off.  They can easily fall off on their own accord for no apparent reason.  Imagine if your children were playing underneath!
•    Eliminate the risk of fines for encroaching on power lines.
The Electricity (Hazards from Trees0 Regulations 2003, require you to maintain a minimum of space The Growth Limit Zone or GLZ) from the power lines to your property. Failure to do so can result in you being fined up to ,000!

Tree cutting can help with all of these problems but it’s important to realise that you can’t simply prune trees and hope it will be OK.   You will be better to use an experienced arborist or tree specialist company.
