As the leaves begin to turn and the weather cools, now is the perfect time to prepare your trees for the coming winter. At Scott Lane’s Tree Service, we know that healthy, well-maintained trees not only enhance your property’s beauty but also protect your home and family during harsh weather.
🍂 1. Trim Before the Storms
Late fall is ideal for tree trimming and pruning. Removing weak, dead, or overgrown branches reduces the risk of falling limbs during winter storms. Pruning also improves air circulation and directs the tree’s energy into strong, healthy growth next spring.
❄️ 2. Inspect for Hidden Damage
Cold temperatures and strong winds can expose problems you may not see from the ground. Our team uses professional equipment to check for cracks, decay, or structural weakness before the ice and snow arrive. Early detection prevents costly damage later.
🌰 3. Clear Away Debris
Fallen leaves and branches can trap moisture around your yard and promote disease or pests. A quick fall cleanup keeps your landscape tidy and your trees breathing freely through the winter.
🌿 4. Protect Young Trees
If you’ve planted new trees this year, wrap their trunks with burlap or tree guards to prevent frost cracks and rodent damage. A fresh layer of mulch around the base (but not against the trunk) will help retain warmth and moisture.
🌲 5. Schedule Winter Maintenance Early
Winter storms can strike suddenly. Booking your tree trimming, removal, or emergency service in advance ensures your property stays safe and your trees stay healthy all season long.
At Scott Lane’s Tree Service, our certified professionals provide reliable trimming, pruning, and removal throughout the year. We take pride in keeping your trees strong, safe, and beautiful — from the first frost to the last bloom of spring.
