There are many benefits to winter tree work, including:
Safer landscape
Removing dead or diseased trees before winter storms can protect your home and family from falling branches or uprooted trees.
Reduced likelihood of disease
Disease agents are usually dormant or dead during winter, so the risk of disease transmission is lower.
Improved spring appearance
Removing dead branches in the winter allows trees to quickly replenish and look healthier in the spring.
Trees heal more quickly
Trees are less stressed when pruned during dormancy and have extra energy reserves to heal.
Frozen ground makes it easier to bring in heavy equipment
Heavy equipment can be used more safely and efficiently without damaging your yard.
Less mess
There are no leaves to clean up after tree removal in the winter.
Protects turf and perennials
The snow cover and frozen ground protect your perennials and turf while you prune.
Tree structure is more visible
Without leaves, it's easier to see the tree's structure.
