Preparing for Winter

Winter will soon be upon us, with all it’s special opportunities… skiing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing… it can be a fun time of year for those willing and able to take advantage of it. But, with winter, also come problems… frozen pipes, high heat bills, slippery roads… and winter can also have a negative impact on your trees, especially pine trees. When pine trees get big and old, not only do the limbs get long and heavy, but they also get brittle. The cold temperatures, along with the weight of ice and snow can cause major tree damage. If that pine tree happens to be close to your house or yard those pine limbs can do major damage when they come crashing down. A little preventative maintenance can go a long way toward warding off major problems over the winter. Our crews are standing by and ready to help make your winter as safe as possible.
