The Benefits of Winter Tree Trimming & Removal?

It can be difficult to decide to cut down a tree on your property, especially if it’s a favorite or associated with family memories. But, in addition to being an eyesore, allowing decaying trees to remain on your property is downright dangerous and a threat to your safety. Scheduling removal of a dead or dying tree is essential to the overall health of your yard, but you may wonder when the best time is to say goodbye. Unless there is an emergency need for sooner removal, waiting until winter has many benefits. 
  • Reduce the risk of spreading some of the more common diseases affecting trees, such as oak wilt - typically spread by a beetle through fresh wounds in trees. According to the ODNR, the best time to trim oaks, elms and ash trees starts in November and ends at the beginning of April.
  • Trees are dormant during the Ohio winter. Because of this dormancy, "wounds" to the tree from trimming will only be exposed for a very short length of time - and in the spring, new growth begins sealing new wounds.
  • Pruning also improves the health of your trees by removing dead or dying branches that have previously been injured by disease, insects, mites, animals and storms.
  • The ground around your trees is frozen in the winter. Pruning can be done without compacting the soil around the tree's roots. Any heavy equipment needed to access your trees will have less impact on the soil and landscaping around your yard's trees.
  • Scheduling during the winter months can result in more timely service as it is the slowest season.  Many people call in spring and summer for tree trimming and removal but calling in the winter months can save you both time and money, not to mention your lawn!
