A little preparation in fall can save your trees — and your property — from winter damage.
Prune dead and weak branches that could break under ice or snow loads.
Trim branches away from structures to prevent roof and siding damage during storms.
Thin dense canopies on trees that catch heavy snow loads.
Remove standing dead trees before winter makes removal more difficult.
Wrap the trunks of young, thin-barked trees to prevent frost cracking. Stake newly planted trees that might lean or blow over in winter winds.
Fall is the busiest season for tree services, so schedule early. A professional evaluation can identify issues you might miss and prioritize the most important work.
