Tree Pruning Tips to Follow Before Selling Your Home
If you are working up to selling your home, you might be planning on upping your curb appeal as well. One thing you should add to your fix-it list is to have your trees pruned. Here are three pruning tips if you are hoping to get you home ready to sell in the near future.
1. Neighboring Trees Growing into Your Yard
When you start assessing your own pruning needs, you might realize that not all overgrown trees are coming from your yard. If your neighbor’s trees could use a trim; and are hanging into your space or are nearby, ask if you can add their trees to your pruning service. They might offer to split costs. But if not, it could be worth the extra cost if it will make your home more appealing from the street.
2. Avoiding Over-Pruning
While your tree might be due for major pruning; be sure to point out your overall goals to your tree trimming service. It might not be the best time to cut back too much growth if this might take away from the appearance of your yard. As long as your trees are neatly trimmed and safe before selling, this can still achieve the curb appeal you are after.
3. Discovering Bigger Issues
A hidden plus of trimming your trees is you might uncover safety issues that would have come up when getting your home inspected to sell. If tree trimmers find dying or diseased trees, this can be dealt with before selling. If your trees are growing into power lines or causing plumbing issues, you can bring in the right professionals to fix problems before selling as well.
Tree trimming is less painful if you can have a professional come. They can do regular upkeep at least once a year.
