Winter is a good time to trim trees, provided you are adequately prepared for the process. That’s why WH Major & Sons provides residents of Mukwonago, WI, a variety of backyard landscaping services, including those necessary for keeping your trees looking their best. The following are a few tips on how you can prepare for tree trimming during the winter months.

How to Prepare for Tree Trimming This Winter

1. Take a Visual Assessment of Your Trees

The health of your trees is usually evident by sight. Therefore, a visual assessment of your trees can give you a good indication of their health and if they need service. If you don’t feel comfortable performing this visual assessment on your own, you can secure the help of a professional backyard landscaping service to assist you with the task.

2. Know When to Trim Trees

When it comes to actually trimming your trees, certain times of the year work better than others. As trees prepare for the nutrient-deficient winter months, branches can slowly die off. Removal of these branches is crucial to facilitate new growth, and in this case, it’s best to trim trees early in the winter—although you can also trim trees in late fall.

3. Haul Away Left Over Branches

Once tree trimming is complete, be sure any branches or other materials left behind are hauled away immediately. Leaving clean up until spring can result in an even bigger mess, and may significantly diminish the look and character of your backyard. Fortunately, many landscape design companies will also remove debris after tree trimming is completed.
