Monday's Maintenance: Trimming Trees

Trimming the trees around your house can be a stressful event. Nonetheless, it's a necessary task that can keep your landscaping looking fresh and clean, and most importantly, it can keep you safe! Follow these tips to help guide you through your tree trimming process.

#1 Safety always comes first when it comes to trimming trees. Staying safe on a tree trimming site means a lot of things, so you'll want to double check that list twice, and always make sure there is someone there to monitor the situation from the side lines.

#2 Prune and trim trees during the tree's dormant season for the best result. Sometimes trees or limbs need to be taken down because they are a safety concern, and that's fine. But if everybody's safe, wait until the opportune time.

#3 Not all branches can be removed. If a branch is less than 5 centimeters, it's safe to cut. If the branch is larger in diameter (greater than 10 centimeters), you should decide if the branch really needs to come down, or not.

#4 When you are pruning trees, trim branches that run into each other or twist. Space out the branches laterally and as evenly as possible.

Things are looking up!

When it comes to different types of ceilings, there is a lot to choose from. If you're like most people, you think of the standard drop ceiling that we're used to seeing in many homes is the only option. That kind of thinking couldn't be further from the truth! If you're considering switching things up with your new home, check out this post to brainstorm some ideas for a new ceiling. Vaulted A vaulted ceiling makes a room feel bigger without actually being bigger. The walls are at a slope, meeting at one point at the very top, center point of the ceiling.
