At GP Associates, Inc., we offer a wide range of services to help you take care of your property and its fiber optic network. One service we’d like to focus on in this article is tree trimming. Keep reading to learn why tree trimming is an important part of property maintenance and how it helps protect your fiber optic cables.
- Preserve the Structural Integrity of the Tree – One reason why tree trimming is important is because it helps preserve and improve the structure of the tree itself. Removing weak branches encourages the tree to grow into a stronger, healthier structure, and it also prevents those branches from breaking during a storm and thus damaging your property.
- Create Space Between Trees and Structures – Tree trimming is also necessary for keeping branches away from your buildings and other structures. If you let the branches grow too close to your building, for instance, the building can become damaged due to friction or from the impact of the branch during a storm. Our team can prune the branches back to create a safe distance between the tree and the nearby structures.
- Protect Aerial Cables – Lastly, tree trimming is also an important step in maintaining aerial power lines and fiber optic cables. When branches get tangled with these cables, it creates serious problems, including power shortages and interruptions in internet service. Our team can trim the trees on your property to keep them well away from your cable infrastructure so you can enjoy steady service.
