Removing trees and stumps during the winter season has many advantages. Not only does it ensure proper nutrition for surrounding plants, but it also means that they endure less damage. The removal process is significantly more effective when it is performed while the soil is frozen. In addition, it protects the soil and turf from any potential damage.
The main reason for cutting down trees is usually for safety reasons, but in some cases, it may be done for aesthetic or lack of light purposes. However, a tree specialist will not perform any work without permission from the authorities. The cold of winter also helps protect trees after pruning. Any cut in a tree (just like a cut in the skin) is an opening for infection.
Microbes and pests can use these wounds as an entrance to the tree, which can lead to the development of diseases. But in winter, many pests are also dormant, making it less likely for bacteria, fungi, and insects to infect a pruned tree. Late winter is a good time to prune, contain or rejuvenate overgrown shrubs and trees. Any branches cut during this season will be able to recover quickly in spring with new growth.
This will also minimize the amount of time you spend looking at a plant that looks like a bunch of sticks after rejuvenation pruning. February and March have been statistically the cheapest months for tree removal, also known as the “dormant season” for trees. A tree maintenance company, like Brands, will have the right equipment and experience to prune large trees. The rules regarding tree removal differ from council to council, but tree conservation orders (TPO) and local environmental plans (LEP) guide many of the decisions that are made. The sap and moisture of a tree tend to descend into its root system during the winter, which greatly reduces the seasoning time needed if the tree is cut down during this stage.
Tree Conservation Orders prevent the deliberate felling, felling, cutting or destruction of trees without the specific consent of the Planning Authority. But just as trees require different care when they grow and thrive, there are a wide variety of factors that influence the decision when it is time to remove that specific tree. It's a common misconception that tree maintenance can't be done during the winter months or that tree care companies don't work during this time of year. You may have heard that trees are cheaper to remove in winter or that summer will always be the most expensive time to remove them. The need to remove trees is usually lower during winter and spring, so better tree companies can offer lower rates to ensure a stable business. If your tree has a less serious problem, one of the best times to remove them is during the dormant season, between late winter and early spring. This way you can save money while still ensuring that your tree gets proper care.
