The arrival of winter means that homeowners should be thinking about scheduling a tree service inspection. The colder months are the best time to have your property’s oaks and elms inspected and pruned. Having regular tree inspections done isn’t only better for your property’s green giants–it also keeps your home and its occupants safe. 

Trees in the winter are in a dormant, sleep-like state that makes maintenance less shocking to them. As well, their lack of leaves makes it easier for certified arborists to see their structure. They can identify which branches are strong enough to withstand howling winds and ice and which will snap under the weight or impact.

You should also schedule a tree inspection any time a winter storm passes through. Never shake snow or ice off of branches unless you know for certain that it’s light and fluffy. This sudden change in weight can cause limbs to snap, so call a tree service company to prevent issues.
