Four Tree Services Performed Best in the Winter
By Lindsey Sienkiewicz, Licensed Arborist in Connecticut
As the chill of winter sets in, it’s easy to overlook the silent giants in our yards: the trees. However, contrary to popular belief, winter is an ideal time for various tree care activities. I’m Lindsey Sienkiewicz, a licensed arborist in Connecticut, and I’d like to share with you five tree services that are best performed during the colder months.
Pruning and Trimming
Winter, with its leafless trees, provides the perfect backdrop for pruning. Without foliage, it’s easier to see the tree’s structure, identify diseased or dangerous branches, and make precise cuts that promote healthy growth. Pruning in winter also minimizes the risk of transmitting diseases between trees, as many pests and disease-causing organisms are dormant.
Tree Removal
Removing trees might seem like a year-round task, but winter offers unique advantages. The frozen ground means less damage to the surrounding landscape during removal. Moreover, without leaves, it’s easier to gauge the tree’s true structure and safely plan its removal, especially in complex situations where buildings or other structures are nearby.
Pest and Disease Assessment
While pests and diseases are less active in winter, it’s an excellent time to assess trees for signs of trouble. As a licensed arborist, I look for bark abnormalities, fungal growth, or woodpecker activity, which can indicate hidden pests or diseases. Early detection means we can plan effective treatment strategies for the spring.
Cabling and Bracing
Winter storms can be harsh, so preparing vulnerable trees for heavy snow and strong winds is vital. Cabling and bracing are preventive measures to support trees with weak limbs or splits. Doing this in winter allows for better visibility and access and prepares the trees to withstand the upcoming seasonal stress.

Winter tree care is not just about maintenance; it’s about proactive health management. By addressing these aspects during the winter, we prepare our trees for a robust and vibrant spring. Remember, just because the world seems to slow down in the winter doesn’t mean your tree care should.

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.Tracy Cole2023-10-13Great job…nice clean up!! Will use them again!!!Roger Leardi2023-10-12These guys are professionals. They came when they said they would, they were quick, neat and professional. They did exactly what they quoted. The crew was polite and friendly. I was super pleased with the service and would highly recommend them if you need tree service.Venus Dickson2023-09-28Arbor 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!

They did everything we asked ……we will definitely be using them again. The gentlemen doing the job were pleasant and professional.Richard Roy2023-09-22All 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 RECOMMENDEdward Figiela2023-09-11That are a great company to work with would recommend them to all!!Greer Cunningham2023-09-09From 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!
