It’s Spring! Time to Clean-up Your Trees!
Spring is here! And it’s time to start thinking about spring tree trimming for 2024. The wet and cold winter weather may have stressed your trees, and hazardous branches may be ready to fall. Now is the time to get out in the yard and take a look at all the trees on your property.
Start With a Walk Through Your Yard
Take a walk through your yard to determine if any trees are candidates for spring tree trimming. Winter has been tough on many of our trees, so it is important to make sure the trees in your yard are in good condition. Spring brings thunderstorms and if your trees are not healthy, the storms can do a lot of damage. Many times when a tree falls, it could have been prevented if it had been inspected before the storms happened.
Potential Hazards to Look For
- Branches that hang over your home
- Trees that lean significantly
- Trees or branches that have a close proximity to power lines
- Cracks in the trunks or major limbs of trees
- Trees that are hollow, aged or decaying
Trees that might have these issues are generally the ones that come down first in a heavy spring thunderstorm.
Look for the Weak Trees
Spring thunderstorms can be hard on weak trees for a couple of reasons. The first is that when there is heavy rain, the soil gets soaked and the roots of the tree cannot stay fastened in the ground. The second reason is the wind. Have you ever had your umbrella turn inside out when it’s really windy? This is the same effect the wind can have on your tree “canopy.” Don’t take risks; get your trees cleaned-up and trimmed for spring.
