Trees are an important part of your yard. They add beauty, shade, and value to your property. However, maintaining trees is a lot of work.

Removing the lower branches, also known as raising a tree, has several advantages. For one, it makes the trees look taller. They also appear better groomed with the bushy, lower branches removed.
