Winter Tree Care

Cold Enough For Ya?

You're probably sick of the ice, snow, and cold temperatures.  You wish you could go dormant, like your trees.  Believe it or not, tree care still happens in the winter....

Winter is a great time for :

• Tree removal: Frozen ground lets crews get equipment closer to trees without damaging the landscape, and the labor intensive nature of the work helps crews keep warm.
• Ornamental and Structural Pruning: without leaves on trees, pruning for structure becomes easier to do, especially on young trees, where it can be one of the best ways to ensure a strong tree!
• Larger projects: Got a whole lot of trees that need pruning?  Winter is a time of lower demand, where companies can easily dedicate larger crews and longer periods of time to jobs, often at reduced costs.
• Pruning Certain Pest Susceptible Trees: In areas where Oak Wilt is present for example, it is required that oaks are pruned while dormant to help prevent disease transmissions.
