3 Reasons Why Residential Tree Services Are Important All Year Long

Published On: November 30th, 20213.1 min read

Do you need residential tree services during winter months? Sorry, that was a trick question. The answer is, “Of course you do!”

That’s because arborist services in Connecticut are essential all year round. Read on to explore 3 important reasons why.

First, the health of your trees depends on proper pruning and other professional tree services.  Pruning in the winter months is often the best choice to keep your trees disease-free. Secondly, unkept trees on your property can be very problematic or even dangerous.  There is not time to waste if a tree is threatening your home. And, of course, unhealthy, poorly-groomed trees may detract from the aesthetic value of your landscape.

Besides these basic points, there’s more to be said about the year-round benefits of arborist services. Not to mention you may even come across some great WINTER DISCOUNTS!!

1. Tree Health

Pruning a tree selectively removes unwanted limbs, resulting in improved air circulation in the canopy, increased vigor, and new growth. Pruning also removes overgrowth that can make a tree unbalanced and structurally unsound.

For many reasons winter is one of the best times of the year to complete this task. Most importantly, pruning cuts, which are essentially wounds, will have time to heal before harmful insects, fungi, and bacteria emerge from their dormancy.  Pruning at the very end of winter is also a great practice because the cuts give the tree a signal that it is time to produce a flush of new growth right as Spring hits.

2. Safety

There are so many ways in which a poorly-maintained tree can harm you, your household, and your guests. The most well-known example is when heavy branches or entire trees come crashing down. This happens for two reasons: lack of maintenance and instabilities in tree structures caused by old age.  If you are concerned about a tree threatening your home or safety there is no time to waste.  Seek the help of a professional tree service in order to protect your assets.

Unhealthy Trees

Often, a tree is weak due to disease, termites, insufficient moisture, or some other health problem. As described above, such health problems are treated and prevented by proper, year-round maintenance.

Dead/Dying Trees

Sometimes, though, a tree cannot be saved despite these efforts. For this, you’ll need to hire a residential tree service company.  Winter is a great time to take care of tree removals.  The ground is frozen so there is less of a chance for disturbance to gardens and lawns when equipment is used to access the trees.  There are also many more opportunities for WINTER DEALS as it tends to be a slower time of year for most arborists.

Other Tree Hazards

Other dangers include branches with low clearance. These can scrape against car roofs, restrict walkways, and potentially become a hazard for people not paying attention. Also, overgrown roots can uproot your deck or damage your plumbing and irrigation systems.

3. Tree Appearance

Like your hair, your trees look good when they’re kept trimmed and well-groomed.  When there are no leaves on trees arborists are better able to assess the structure of a tree and see what cuts will improve the shape of a tree when they leaf out in the Spring.

Have an arborist check your trees each season to keep them looking great. This improves your curb appeal, which raises your property value.

Great team and very professional, they efficiently took down some large older trees that were dying and hanging over my house and in very difficult positions while also requiring them to manage traffic, I will definitely use them again in the future

I would give 6 Stars if I could. This is the third time I've used Justin and his crew of Arbortech. He and his crew go above and beyond in the services they provide. They do all, and then some, of what I contracted them to do. His crew is personable, professional, and tidy. They left my place cleaner than when they got here. Can't say enough. Use them. You won't be disappointed.

Arbor tech and their crew were amazing!!! Not only did I not have to wait a long time to schedule the work, but they also came on time the day of. The crew were friendly, professional and helpful. They went above and beyond what I expected them to do. They even cleaned up afterwards as if they weren’t even there. The price I was quoted was reasonable and they did not charge more than was quoted. The whole experience was fantastic. I will be using them in the future. I highly recommend them! You will not be disappointed.

All aspects of our experience with Arbortech were beyond expectation (5+ stars at all levels). From the scheduling process and ongoing coordination and discussions with Lindsey to the onsite discussions with Justin, and finally with the crew while the work was being done, we couldn't be happier. They listened, they provided insight to our project while remaining very sensitive to our privacy concerns with the trimming of our pines. In an evolving world where a lot of customer care seems to have vanished, we are grateful we found a company where it seems to be a core component of their values. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

From start to finish our experience with Arbortech was wonderful! Lindsey was extremely responsive and worked with us to set up both the estimate and schedule the work. She even communicated with our neighbor to coordinate the timing as we needed to use their driveway for the job. Justin came promptly to look at our trees, explained our options in a very clear an professional way, and gave us an extremely fair estimate. The guys who came and did the work did a really great job and cleaned up everything afterwards, so we (and our neighbor) were very happy. They were also very friendly and gracious even though they were working during a crazy heat wave- they appreciated the popsicles I gave them! I highly recommend Arbortech Tree Service!
