If you’ve been eyeing that unsightly tree for a few months now but haven’t had the chance to do something about it, you might be concerned that the window of opportunity is closing as you head into the winter months.
However, there’s actually quite a few reasons for why tackling a tree removal on your property is even better to do in the winter. Especially if there are any risks with your decaying or dead trees that could lead to damages or issues if left too long.
Read on for some of the things to consider when planning for winter tree removal work.
Less foliage means it is easier to assess the trees
Once the leaves have fallen, it is easier for a tree contractor to properly assess the status of the tree. Issues that weren’t apparent with heavy leaf cover can become easy to spot and address. With no leaves, there are also less distractions that can cause a lack of visibility or potential safety concerns.
Minimal Disruption to Lawns or Gardens
The hard or frozen group means that there is less impact from some of the machinery and equipment used in tree removal work. While a tree contractor like VS Tree will always work in such a way as to minimize the impact on the lawn, heavy equipment can always leave a trace.
In addition, lawn furniture has likely been put away for the season, meaning that there is less work required in advance to clear a path for the tree contractor.
Quick turnaround when scheduling a tree removal expert
Typically, the schedule for tree work is lighter in the winter, meaning that you can expect your local tree services company to be able to schedule and complete the work quickly.
Important to take action as soon as possible
Ultimately, the most important thing to keep in mind is to take action right when a problem becomes apparent. A dead or decaying tree can cause a lot of damage to property, especially when under the stress of heavy wind, ice, or other tough winter conditions.
Rather than waiting until the next storm causes damage to your home or vehicle, call on a tree expert to come and assess and remove the problem. While working in the winter is perhaps less comfortable, there’s no reason to sacrifice safety and peace of mind!
