There are so many benefits in servicing your trees December thru February. Once trees begin to sense the temperatures start to drop it starts to become dormant. This basically means the tree takes a rest and is not in full growing mode.

• Dormancy is great when it comes to tree trimming. It will allow the tree to seal and prevent unwanted sprout growth right away.
• Diseases that could affect your tree are not actively growing due to the lower temperatures.
• No leaves on the tree allows an arborist to see the structure of the tree and identify dead or dangerous branches.
• Trimming your trees in the Winter also can prevent damage that can occur when your tree branches have a significant amount of ice or snow.
• Certain species of trees are best to trim in the Winter to prevent disease that could essentially harm them or even kill them.
• When it comes to tree removal, Winter also offers hard ground to work on while removing your tree to keep your ground intact.
• Open tree canopies help with the rigging and the lowering of limbs.
