Winter is often characterized by barren trees sleeping dormant against ice and snow. While this is a breathtaking sight, property owners often overlook maintenance, forgetting these sleeping giants are alive under the snow. Proper care and maintenance ensure trees thrive throughout the cold season and come to life in spring with vibrant foliage.
Driscoll Tree Service can help protect your investment by providing customized tree maintenance. Take advantage of the cold season to conduct routine winter pruning, or hire a reputable tree care company to handle the heavy lifting. Here are vital winter tree maintenance tips you shouldn’t overlook.
One minute it’s snowing quietly; the next minute, a storm is brewing. Winter is unpredictable and increases the risk of personal injury and property damage from falling branches. The ice accumulates on branches and limbs, causing them to break during strong winds. The last thing you want is falling limbs to damage power lines in the dead of winter, causing power outages and safety hazards.
Homeowners can minimize the risk of property damage by hiring a professional tree service to trim branches near important structures and utility lines. If a branch poses a potential safety risk, we can eliminate it before things get out of hand.
Property damage is frustrating and often leads to expensive repairs or replacements. It is advisable to have a professional tree service trim overgrown branches or weak trees that can’t survive winter weather. A heavy branch full of ice and snow can cause irreversible damage, raising safety concerns for everyone within the premises.
The best time to trim your trees is before winter, reducing the risk of infections and infestations because of the pruning injuries. Trees are dormant during the cold season, allowing homeowners to provide preventive maintenance without compromising health and growth in spring.
While trees are a valuable addition to any landscape, it is crucial to know when removal is necessary. Even a healthy tree can pose a risk during winter if growing near your home or power lines. Storms can bring strong winds, which cause branches to fall on power lines, resulting in a power outage. Leverage the expertise of a professional tree care company to restore safety and appeal to your premises this winter. We can also help eliminate stumps, making it easy to maneuver the yard.
Besides addressing safety concerns, pruning is essential in preparing your trees for spring growth. Our arborists use industry-standard equipment and knowledge to detect and remove dead or damaged limbs. This is an effective way of protecting your property, preventing personal injuries, and improving beauty and health come springtime. Avoid DIY winter tree care, especially if you don’t have the tools or expertise to complete the project safely.
