Having trees in your yard can improve your yard and home's curb appeal. In our experience, mature trees can especially increase your property value. You'll also be able to enjoy a serene landscape. However, deer, rodents, and various pests love trees. Deer are capable of causing enough damage to kill your tree. Use these tips and tricks to protect your trees.

Recognize Causes for Concern

You may be hesitant to contact tree services if you don't believe there's any need to. However, it's important to monitor your trees regularly and catch issues as soon as they arise. While it can be difficult for many home and property owners to recognize issues with their yards or trees, being able to spot problems early on makes it easier for them to be resolved. Of course, that means they'll be less of a hassle later down the line. Our experts recommend checking your trees once a week for signs of pest infestations. These signs could include the visual presence of insects, stunted branch growth, holes in the trunk, discoloration, and more.

Remove Sick or Dead Trees

In addition to housing pests, your trees could also be sick, dying, or dead. When you notice any of these cases, you need to remove the affected trees as soon as possible. Letting the trees remain can cause them to attract pests or spread disease to other trees on your property. Indicators of a sick tree include dying leaves or needles, blemishes on the leaves, holes in the leaves, dying branches, wilting, and more. Signs that a tree is dying include bark shedding off the tree, visible rot or fungus, open wounds, root damage, and more.

Get Your Trees Trimmed

Contact a local tree company for regular tree trimming services. Small overhanging branches are tempting for deer because they're easy to reach. Low branches also make it easy for rodents to climb up your tree and make themselves at home. Trimming your trees regularly keeps them healthier, so that's another fantastic advantage. By getting your trees trimmed, you help them absorb more light.

When seeking out tree services, you have a plethora of options to choose from. In fact, according to IBIS World, the market size of the tree-trimming industry nationwide was measured at $37.1 billion in 2023. That's because more homeowners realize the importance of regular maintenance to protect their trees from nearby wildlife and potential tree damage.
