Trees are very important to most homeowners. While some homeowners prefer more trees and other homeowners prefer fewer trees, the fact remains that trees can have a significant impact on the attractiveness of a property, but also on the safety of those occupying the home. As we muscle through the winter months, the trees on your property are likely taking the brunt of the winter storms that find their way to your home.
While it may be tempting to take a snow shovel or broom or something similar and knock the wet, heavy snow or ice off of the branches of your trees, this can cause more damage than the snow or ice itself. Instead, wait for the snow or ice to melt off naturally. Also, pruning branches in the middle of winter is not only inconvenient, but it can also be very bad for your tree’s health, depending on the type of tree it is.
