When Trees Should Be Removed for the Best Results

The short answer is wintertime or early spring. Tree removal is generally easier during these times. Read on to learn more about tree removal and when it’s best to remove a tree from your home or business property.

Why Early Spring and Winter Are Best for Tree Removal

This is when trees are less active. The leaves are gone, so the branches are bare. This works well even if the ground is frozen.

The frozen ground makes tree removal easier since the soil isn’t moist and other vegetation or trees won’t be disturbed during the removal process. The only soil that’s disturbed is what’s attached to the tree and its root system. Ideally, it’s best to remove a tree on a calm day in the fall or winter.

After Natural Disasters

Natural disasters, like hurricanes and tornadoes, can damage trees severely. If you have trees split in half or ones with several fallen branches, call a tree specialist ASAP. Trees with broken limbs may be repairable, but it may be necessary to remove the tree entirely.

When Trees Are Affected by Disease

The most common reason for tree removal is because of disease. You don’t want to wait for winter or early spring to remove a severely damaged tree. Immediate removal also protects other trees from damage.

When Trees Are Severely Damaged by a Storm

Storms can impact trees in Ohio and throughout the general area during the summer. If a tree is severely damaged during one of these storms, call for immediate tree inspection and possible removal.

When You Have Invasive Tree Roots

Tree roots sometimes grow beyond where a tree is located and present possible issues with underground wires. If you have invasive tree roots posing potential risks of this nature, contact a tree specialist right away. The tree roots can be evaluated to determine if a tree with invasive roots needs to be removed entirely.

When a Tree Is Causing Problems

Trees can cause issues by leaning toward your property or by getting too close to power lines. Trimming may resolve some of these issues.

Other times, however, it’s best to remove a tree entirely. If leaning is a concern, for instance, the tree may be removed if it’s leaning to the point where it’s ready to fall. It can always be replaced by a new tree that can be wired to control growth.
