When bitter cold weather arrives during the winter months, snow and ice are expected. Even though these elements may look beautiful to the eye, they can also result in property damage. This is especially true when it comes to snow and ice buildup on tree branches.
Autumn Pruning
It’s important to prune trees prior to winter’s arrival. Snow and ice can build up on low hanging branches can bend or break them, causing damage. This is particularly dangerous if branches are hanging over electric wires or over property where people or pets may walk. Protect your trees while avoiding potential injury to passersby.
It’s Not an Easy “DIY” Project
Some people may think they can prune their own trees. While some folks may have this skill and access to the proper equipment, most of us don’t. Pruning without the proper knowledge can damage your trees, and you might hurt yourself. A professional company that cares for trees is your best option.
Trained professionals have the right pruning equipment at the ready and take steps to ensure a tree is pruned in the proper manner. An expert arborist can survey a tree and determine its weak spots, rotten branches, and which branches are most likely to snap from the weight of snow and ice. This is not something a novice can ascertain. Calling a professional can prevent dire consequences.
