What Season is Best to Prune My Trees?

Trees play a vital role in our environment, and it is our responsibility to ensure they get the proper care and maintenance. Failure to provide the needed care can result in significant tree damage, which is not suitable for the environment or your lawn. To avoid situations that can cost you a lot of money, it is vital to onboard a tree care company. At Sesmas Tree Service, we have an experienced team that can help you maintain healthy and durable trees that enhance the value of your property and environment.

Most property and homeowners always wonder which is the ideal season to prune their trees. With years of providing top-notch tree service, we discovered dormant pruning ideal for most trees. Dormant pruning involves routine pruning of the trees in your property during the late fall or winter months when your trees are not actively growing. The experts at Sesmas Tree Service can help you establish a pruning schedule based on vital factors like; size, age, type, and overall health.

The certified and experienced arborists of Sesmas Tree Service have extensive industry knowledge and experience, guaranteeing top-notch tree service that ensures you maintain strong, healthy trees throughout dormancy. Here are some of the reasons why you should consider scheduling an appointment to prune your vegetation during winter.

Increase Visibility

A pruned lawn is not only appealing to see but enhances the aesthetics of your property during winter when things are less lush. We recommend pruning during the dormant winter months because it allows us to clear any weak and dense crossed branches, alleviating any potential hazards. Pruning is an essential tree maintenance service during winter, especially with limited sunlight. We can ensure that sunlight reaches all the vegetation in your yard for a healthy landscape.

Limit the Possibility of Pests

Pests are usually more active during spring and less invasive during winter. Most pest species are dormant during winter, reducing your trees’ susceptibility to an attack. Dormant pruning lowers the risk of a pest invasion since the wounds make them vulnerable to potential infestations when the insects are active. If you detect the signs of pests in your trees, Sesmas Tree Service can help you mitigate the damage early before it gets out of hand.

Evita Fikes

Sesmas did a terrific job for us on a project completed today involving the removal of 18 problem trees. Project was completed exactly as promised, skillfully and for a reasonable price. Mike Fowler was excellent in overseeing the work and his crew was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Kathryn Arvidson

These guys were on point. Verified the request before beginning (always good, because the trees aren't coming back!). Then made sure the trimming was done to exactly where I wanted it. On time, fast, and completely cleaned up after - was a great experience. Highly recommend!

Faster Healing

Pruning wounds result in significant sap loss during active seasons, stressing their ability to heal and grow. However, this is not the case during winter, when the trees are dormant, which gives them more time to recuperate. All the energy preserved during the dormant season can be used to grow healthy foliage and limbs instead of healing pruning wounds and fending off pests. While most homeowners opt to handle tree maintenance alone, you risk significant tree damage if you don’t have the skills, experience, and equipment.

These are some of the reasons why you should consider dormant pruning for trees in your yard. Contact us today at Sesmas Tree Service, and enjoy quality tree service from a reputable and reliable tree care company in Snellville.
