Misconceptions of Tree Care During the Winter
When a homeowner thinks about tree care they tend to envision the work being done during the spring or summer months. This is a common misconception about arborists and tree care services. Trees need year around service in order to remain healthy and reduce the risk of potential hazards. The majority of broken limbs and fallen trees occur during the winter months and it is always best to address potential hazardous trees and limbs before a heavy snowfall, windstorm, or ice storm.
The ice storm of 2014 that caused thousands of homes to be without electricity for several weeks and caused millions of dollars of damage across the GTA acted as a wake-up call for many home owners. Preventative care is the best way to reduce the chances of damage to one’s home caused by the falling of trees and branches during extreme weather. Yearly maintenance and inspection of one’s trees can save a homeowner thousands of dollars in the long run.
Whether it be minus or plus 30c Sherwood Maintenance Group is working year round to ensure the safety and health of trees across the GTA.
