The ideal period to do a tree risk assessment is during late fall. The cold nights can affect a tree’s health in several ways. Our arborists can determine if your tree poses a risk and is healthy enough to survive heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures. Mid-October or November is also the perfect time for pruning. Pruning your tree is an excellent way to keep it healthy and strong. When we do a tree risk assessment in the fall, our team can remove any old or damaged branches and prune your tree accordingly.
