Looking to bring down a tree without breaking the bank?
While removing a tree isn’t always a job that can wait, there are times of the year that are best for homeowners looking to time their tree removal to get the best bang for the buck.
When is the best time to cut down a tree?
The best months to hire a tree company to bring down a tree in Ottawa are February and March.
This is for several reasons:
- With no leaves on the tree, it is easier for the arborist to properly assess the tree and for the tree specialist to work efficiently to bring down the tree
- There is less work involved in cleanup due to leaves.
- Tree companies tend to start to get busy during the late spring and summer months, making early spring a time when there is more availability.
If you have the luxury of being able to wait before bringing a tree down, remember to call in and book your tree removal early. This will give time for an arborist to come on-site to give an estimate, and also allow for the proper time to acquire permits.
How should I plan for a tree removal when it’s an emergency?
Sometimes, of course, it isn’t possible to wait to remove a tree. If a damaged tree is threatening a house, for example, then it’s best to take action immediately to avoid significant issues.
Call a tree specialist and make it clear what the extent of the issue is so that they can arrive on-site quickly.
In these cases, the cheapest time to book is “right now”, as waiting becomes a risk.
