Not only does it help to keep your property pristine, but it also helps you to prevent any serious disasters due to a lack of home maintenance. However, home maintenance doesnâ't just extend to your home. It includes maintenance of your whole property, including your yard. Falling tree branches can cause serious damage to your home. Ensure that youâ're protected with the right homeowners insurance, and check out these tree maintenance tips.

Take Stock of Your Yard.

Upkeep in your yard is a vital component to preventing any tree-related accidents. Survey your yard to keep out for any signs of dead or damaged trees. Have any dead trees removed and trim trees near your property so that you reduce the risk for any falling branches.

Keep an Eye on Trees.

There are warning signs that can indicate a damaged tree. Be on the lookout for any cracks in your trees, mushrooms growing on your tree trunks, any leaning branches, contact with power lines, and any decay. If you notice any of these, call an arborist for a second opinion so that the tree can be removed if necessary.

Regularly Maintain Your Yard.

Trees need constant care to keep them in great shape. Ensure that you tend to your trees by regularly pruning them and keeping the soil as fertile as possible. That way you can foster the growth of healthy trees. Protect your home from tree damage with the right homeowners insurance in Pleasant Hill.
