Removing Trees in the Winter

During the winter, the only tree removal you might be thinking about is cutting down your fir or spruce tree. Though, if there’s a tree in your outdoor space that’s dead or diseased, now is the time to get rid of it. You don’t want it falling itself during a winter snow storm and destroy your property. There are many other reasons why you should remove trees in winter.

Slow Season
During the winter, you won’t find as many people walking, hiking, or camping in any space around your home. This makes it easy to remove trees. Your loved ones are warm and safe inside and not in the yard while a tree is being cut down.

No Leaves, No Problem
After the fall, the lack of leaves makes it simple to see what limbs to cut. Also, arborists have a better view of the trunk to the top. There’s little clean up when the leaves are already gone.

Take Out the Big Equipment
Once the ground gets hard in winter, it’s simple for machinery and large trucks to arrive at the space that the tree removal is to take place, unless the area is blanketed with snow. You might have to wait for the earth to soften to do a stump removal job. Well, you don’t have to worry about a dead tree falling when it’s not supposed to in adverse weather.

Benefits of Winter Tree Removal
In addition to controlling the risk of harm done by falling trees and hanging limbs, removing trees in the winter can be done without severely impacting the rest of your garden and yard. Come spring, the plants and grass will grow back, and the hazardous tree is gone.

Lesser Diseases, Faster Recovery
Winter is good for pruning and general tree maintenance. There are more minor diseases to get into open cuts in the bark. Also, trees are dormant in the wintertime. Any wounds from pruning won’t be visible until spring.
