If you’re in need of tree removal in your yard, you might be wondering when the best time of year is to get it done. In the winter months, trees are dull and empty; yet, in the warmer season, they’re thriving. Experts at L & M Tree Service have been helping the Kalispell and Whitefish, MT, community for more than 25 years with professional tree services, like trimming, pruning, and removal, and they recommend anytime other than the winter season.

When you need tree removal, timing can depend on a variety of conditions, like the tree’s health or it’s location. For instance, if a storm has caused a tree to damage your roof or it’s about to fall in line with your house, it requires emergency tree removal. However, if you can wait a few months for the tree to be removed, it can be postponed to after the winter season. This is usually the case when removal is for a cosmetic reason or something less pressing, like early rotting.

Tree service companies try to avoid tree removal in the dead of winter because of the ground and weather conditions. Due to Montana having harsh winters with very low temperatures, the ground can get harder than a rock. That makes digging for tree removal extremely difficult. And, with winter weather, heavy snow and freezing rain can halt any tree removal processes.

Regardless of the time of year, it’s important to seek a professional’s opinion when it comes to dealing with tree removal. Whether it’s a dangerous situation or a simple removal, L & M Tree Service in Kalispell does its best to save the tree and protect your home.
