Since the cold weather has set in, we know you probably haven't given much thought to tree service. However, our team at Liscombe Tree Service, the premier tree care company in St. Charles, MO, wants you to understand why you should still consider tree trimming during the winter. 

5 Important Reasons to Hire a Tree Service Professional in the Winter

1. Safety

During the winter, the weight of snow and ice accumulating on branches puts considerable strain on trees, and high winds cause additional stress. Under these circumstances, branches (or indeed, whole trees) that have been weakened by age, decay, or neglect can break, potentially injuring a family member or damaging your dwelling or other nearby structures. 

2. Less Lawn Damage   

Tree service results in less lawn damage during the winter. When you schedule tree trimming during the summer, heavy branches fall dozens of feet before striking the ground, and the force of the impact can tear holes in your grass. During the winter, the ground is often frozen and is solid enough to withstand the impact of falling branches without sustaining damage.

3. Fewer Pests & Diseases

During the winter, fewer pests and tree diseases are active. This means trees that would normally be vulnerable to attack after a tree trimming can recover from the procedure more easily.

4. Better View & Easier Access

The lack of foliage improves the arborist's view of the situation and makes the diagnosis of problems easier. It also makes access to certain parts of the tree safer and more convenient.

5. Availability

During other times of the year, you are often preoccupied with home improvement projects, vacations, or family events, and you simply don't have the time to schedule tree service. However, during the winter, you likely have more time to schedule an appointment with a tree trimming expert.
