Winter is a great time to schedule your tree work.
Beat the springtime rush and get a fresh start to the year.
We don’t stop when the snow flies. There are an array of benefits to having tree work done over the winter, including our Winter Discount (see below).
-
Dormant Season for Trees
During winter, most trees are dormant, meaning they are not actively growing.
Pruning during this time causes less stress to the tree since there is less sap flow, reducing the chance of disease or pest infestations that can exploit fresh cuts. -
Winter Storm Preparation
Pruning in winter can help remove weak, dead, or overgrown branches that might break off during snowstorms or with ice accumulation. This can reduce the risk of damage to your property or nearby structures.
-
Reduced Risk of Disease and Pests
Many tree diseases, funguses, and pests are dormant, or less active in winter. Pruning during this cold time reduces the risk of spreading infections, such as various cankers, oak wilt, or Dutch elm disease, which are typically more prevalent in warmer months.
-
Better Visibility of Tree Structure
Without leaves, the tree’s structure is more visible. This allows our Arborists to better assess the tree's shape, spot any problematic branches or areas, and make more precise cuts to promote a healthier form. .
-
Easier Access and Less Impact on Surrounding Landscape
With frozen or snow covered the ground, the tools and equipment required for tree removal or pruning cause less damage to yards, flower beds, or other landscape elements.
