Long-term management of pruning can ensure your trees continue to provide the aesthetic value and function they intended. Proper, conscientious pruning can enhance the beauty and function of your trees in Kansas City, while reducing the potential for loss of limbs or other failures during winter storms.
Why prune in winter?
When the leaves have dropped in the fall, it is easier for your arborist to see the structure of your trees. When summer annuals have been removed, there is less risk of disrupting your landscape when working on large trees. In regions where the soil freezes, equipment can often gain closer access, which can enhance our safety and reduce your costs. Winter pruning in Kansas City can also avoid enhancing some serious diseases that are active and spread easily during the growing seasons of spring and summer.
Wintry conditions can be stressful on our Kansas City trees, especially newly planted or young trees that lack mature defense mechanisms such as a wide, spreading root system or thick bark. Learn how to protect trees and help them survive the winter season and thrive in years to come.
