One of the best seasons for tree care is in the winter when trees are dormant. With the foliage gone, arborists can easily spot deadwood, structural issues, and potential hazards that might be hidden during other times of the year.
Pruning Perfection
Without the leaves, arborists can get an unobstructed view of a tree’s structure. This allows for more effective assessments and targeted care. Deadwood can be easily removed, and any structural faults in the tree can be corrected. Pruning now minimizes the risk of infection from diseases that are more prevalent in warmer months and sets the stage for a vibrant spring. Preventative care also reduces the risk of storm-related breakage, helps your landscape withstand harsh winter conditions, and saves you money on your property investment.
Safe Removals
Removing dead or hazardous trees now helps prevent future damage to both residential and commercial properties during severe weather. The frozen ground makes it easier for arborists to access trees with their heavy equipment, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding landscape. Dormant perennials won’t suffer damage during tree removals, making winter the best time to perform the work.
Winter Storm Damage and Emergency Services
Winter storms can bring a substantial snow load, ice and extreme winds that can wreak havoc on trees. This season’s severe weather events can lead to broken branches and stems, impacting the canopy and even uprooting trees. If your trees suffer noticeable structural damage that requires immediate attention, ATE can help. We can arrange an on-site visit, diagnose any health-related concerns, and take immediate action if necessary.
