Best time of year for tree work? Winter
trimming trees in winter
The best time of year to trim or remove trees is in the winter. Trees go dormant in the winter months, and that makes it safer and healthier to trim them, with less risk of insect or disease infestation.
Here are just a few reasons for having one of our ISA certified arborists out and scheduling your tree work in the winter:
Several species of trees can only be trimmed in winter, including oaks, elms, fruit trees and some shrubs
Removing buckthorn in winter is more effective at preventing regrowth
There is less risk of lawn damage from heavy equipment when the ground is frozen
Thinning out overgrown trees can prevent winter storm damage
Bare branches make it easier to identify structural damage before it becomes dangerous to the tree's health, or other trees and structures around it
Don't wait until spring or summer; contact us for a free evaluation of your trees from one of our ISA certified arborists, and get your trees in tip top shape before the snow melts.
