One of the most important aspects of tree maintenance is pruning. While it may seem like a simple task, tree pruning is actually a highly skilled process that requires knowledge of tree biology and proper cutting techniques. That’s why it’s best to trust the job to an ISA-certified arborist. Certification by the International Society of Arboriculture means the arborist has met high standards of expertise and ethical practices. At Brandywine Tree & Shrub, our local ISA-certified arborists provide expert pruning in the greater Wilmington, DE area. Here are four benefits of having your trees pruned by an ISA-certified professional. Promotes Healthy Growth Pruning isn’t just about shaping a tree’s appearance. When done correctly, it helps stimulate healthy growth by removing dead, diseased, or overcrowded branches. ISA-certified arborists understand how to make precise cuts that encourage strong structure and vitality. They are trained to avoid over-pruning, which can stress the tree and reduce its ability to thrive. With professional care, your trees are more likely to develop properly and remain resilient over time. Reduces the Risk of Property Damage Overgrown or damaged limbs can pose a serious risk to nearby structures, vehicles, and people. Storms, wind, and decay can cause weak branches to snap and fall, potentially leading to costly damage or injury. ISA-certified arborists know how to assess structural integrity and identify limbs that need to be removed before they become hazardous. Their expertise helps prevent accidents and keeps your property safer year-round. Improves Tree Appearance and Aesthetics A well-pruned tree contributes to the overall curb appeal of your landscape. ISA-certified arborists have the experience to shape trees in a way that enhances their natural beauty while maintaining balance and symmetry. They understand species-specific growth habits and can tailor their approach to achieve the best visual results without compromising tree health. Protects Against Pests and Disease Diseased or decaying branches can attract insects and promote the spread of pathogens. Removing these problem areas through proper pruning reduces the chance of infestations and keeps your trees healthier. ISA-certified arborists are trained to recognize early signs of disease or pest activity and can recommend additional treatments or care strategies if needed. This proactive approach helps maintain the long-term health of your trees.

Big trees can quickly become serious hazards if their health or structure is compromised. A tree that seems majestic from a distance may be silently posing a danger to your home and family. Recognizing the warning signs early can prevent costly damage and help ensure the safety of everyone on your property. At Brandywine Tree & Shrub, our local ISA-certified arborists can identify hazardous trees and safely remove them as needed. Here are four signs that a big tree may be putting your home at risk. Leaning Toward the House While some trees naturally grow at an angle, a sudden lean toward your home can indicate a structural problem. This may be due to root damage or soil erosion. If the lean is accompanied by cracked soil at the base or visible root lifting, the tree may be unstable and at risk of falling. A tree leaning in the direction of your home should be assessed by a certified arborist as soon as possible. Large Dead/Hanging Branches Dead limbs or hanging branches are a clear warning that the tree is struggling and may be in decline. These branches are more likely to fall unexpectedly, especially during windy or stormy conditions. If these branches are located over your home, driveway, or areas where people commonly walk or gather, they pose a significant safety hazard and should be removed immediately. Substantial Cracks in the Trunk Visible cracks, splits, or cavities in the trunk are signs of structural weakness. These openings often make the tree more vulnerable to breaking, especially during storms or high winds. If the damage is extensive or located near the base of the trunk, it may compromise the entire tree’s integrity. Even if the tree still appears healthy on the outside, internal damage can make it a serious liability. Root Damage or Exposure A tree’s root system anchors it in place and provides essential nutrients. If you notice exposed roots, soil upheaval, or signs of root rot, the tree may not be as secure as it looks. Roots can be damaged by construction and heavy machinery. When the root system is compromised, the tree is much more likely to fall without warning, especially in adverse weather.
