Late Winter - Early Spring ‘26

This winter hit hard.

Ice storms, heavy snow loads, and freeze-thaw cycles have been punishing trees across the region — and most of the damage isn't obvious from the ground. Cracked branch unions, bark splits, and compromised root zones don't always show themselves until a limb comes down on your roof, your car, or your family.

That's not a scare tactic. That's what we see every spring when we finally get up into the canopy.

Right now — late winter through early spring — is the single best window to get ahead of it. Trees are still dormant, which means we can prune aggressively without stressing them, spot structural problems before leaves hide them, and set your property up for a safe, healthy growing season.

Here's what our arborists are focused on right now:

STRUCTURAL PRUNING — Removing dead, damaged, and crossing branches while trees are dormant means faster healing, less disease risk, and better shape going into spring. This is the work that prevents the emergency call in July.

WINTER DAMAGE ASSESSMENT — We get eyes on every part of the tree, including what you can't see from your driveway. Cracks, splits, hangers, and decay pockets all get identified and addressed before they become hazards.

SPRING PREP — Targeted fertilization to fuel new growth. Preventative pest and disease treatments before populations explode. Proper mulching to protect root systems through the transition. The basics done right make all the difference.

We're booking spring consultations now, and our schedule fills fast once the weather turns. If your trees took a beating this winter — or if it's been more than a year since a certified arborist has looked at them — now is the time.

Call us or book online to schedule your property assessment. We'll walk your trees with you, tell you exactly what we're seeing, and put together a plan that makes sense for your property and your budget.

Healthy trees don't just look better. They hold property value, they keep your family safe, and they last generations when they're cared for properly.

Let's make sure yours are ready for spring!

Here's what we recommend before spring hits:

Walk your property with purpose. Look up. Dead branches, cracked limbs, anything leaning or hanging these aren't just eyesores. They're hazards waiting for the next windstorm to turn them into damage claims.

Get overhanging branches addressed now. If limbs are extending over your home, garage, or power lines, don't wait for your insurance company to tell you it's a problem. Be proactive and handle it on your terms.

Don't ignore winter's unfinished business. We're not done with ice and high winds yet. That weakened branch union from the last storm? It's still up there. And every freeze-thaw cycle makes it worse. The emergency calls we get in March are almost always problems that were visible in February.

A 30-minute property walk with one of our arborists can identify every risk on your property. This is the stuff that threatens your home, your coverage, and your family's safety. It's the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy!
