When people think about landscaping, most conjure images of well-manicured lawns, beds of colorful flowers, and neat rows of ornamental shrubs. However, most of them forget that trees are also an integral part of landscape design.
Here’s another thing most people don’t know about trees: aside from beautifying a lawn and offering much-welcome shade, trees can also increase a property’s value by up to 20%! If they’re well-maintained, that is. Let a tree’s branches grow out, and pretty soon it will be more of an eyesore instead of an asset. What’s more, strong winds can snap the branches, which can damage surrounding properties or even injure someone as a result.
That’s why many landscapers offer tree trimming services to tame tree growth. To make their service faster, many employ bucket trucks when doing their job. These versatile vehicles earned their name because they have a bucket-like platform at the end of a telescopic arm.
When a tree needs trimming, a worker boards the “bucket” so he can be lifted to the required height to cut down branches. Furthermore, the worker can load all the necessary tools in the bucket, thus making the task even easier. Another benefit that bucket rucks offer is safety. Whereas ladders can easily tip and send workers tumbling, bucket truck use is regulated by strict OSHA guidelines and all operators undergo stringent training prior to using the vehicle.
