Winter is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to prepare your trees and landscape for the colder months. At Finch, we want to help you keep your trees healthy and your property safe throughout the season.
Here’s what you need to know for winter tree care:
1. Surveying for Health and Safety - Knowing the condition of your trees is great for planning any future works and keeping everyone safe. Autumn is a great time for getting your trees surveyed as it allows us to see more of the trunk, branch structure and if any fungus is present.
2. Removal of Weak or Damaged Trees - If you have trees that are damaged or have weak limbs, winter weather can exacerbate the problem. Removing hazardous trees now helps prevent property damage and keeps everyone safe.
3. Hedge and Conifer Management - The winter months are also a great time to address overgrown hedgerows and conifers. Tidying up now ensures your landscape looks great for the dormant months ahead and is minimal disturbance to our wildlife.
4. Plan For Your Planting - The dormant months for trees will soon be here. Whether you’re thinking of adding new trees or replacing old ones, we’re here to offer expert advice and planting help on species that thrive in your area. Get those trees in the ground from November to February!
5. Tree Support and Protection - Consider installing tree supports or using mulch to protect young or vulnerable trees from harsh winter conditions. Our team can provide tailored solutions to safeguard your trees during the cold months.
If you need any assistance with winter tree care, from surveying to planting plans, don’t hesitate to contact us. We're here to help you every step of the way!
Stay warm and enjoy the season.
