Caring for your trees

Preferred trees for the Kansas City area

Pruning
Pruning is important to improve or maintain the safety, health, and appearance of trees. Proper pruning involves:
  • removing limbs that rub roofs or buildings, or that obstruct sidewalks, patios, or streets
  • removing dead or weak limbs that pose a hazard or detract from the appearance of the tree
  • removing limbs that are insect-infested or diseased
  • creating better structure to reduce the potential for storm damage from wind and ice
  • thinning the canopy to increase light penetration and general tree health
  • improving the shape and beauty of the tree
  • removing limbs damaged by wind or ice
  • shaping young trees so that they grow in a proper form

Improper pruning can lead to tree decay, disease or death. 

Tree Removal
Removal should be considered a last resort. However, tree removal may be necessary when the tree is: 
  • dead or dying
  • considered hazardous
  • causing an obstruction that can't be corrected through pruning
  • considered hazardous
  • crowding or causing harm to other trees or buildings
  • located in an area where it interferes with new construction

Planting New Trees 
Properly selected and maintained trees can: 
  • improve the natural beauty and the value of your home
  • provide flowers and fall colors
  • provide shade and wind break, which can reduce home energy costs
  • increase privacy
  • reduce noise pollution (100 ft. width of trees can absorb 6-8 decibels of sound intensity)

Trees Protect and Improve our Environment by:
  • absorbing CO2 and producing oxygen (an acre of trees produces enough oxygen to keep 18 people alive)
  • trapping and absorbing certain air pollutants
  • reducing surface temperatures
  • providing natural habitats for various animals
