If you have a tree on your property that you’ve been meaning to remove, the fall season might be the best time for that. There are several reasons to call a tree removal service well before the onset of winter.

Optimal Weather Conditions

Fall weather is usually cool and dry, which makes it perfect for tree removal. The ground is still soft from the summer weather, which reduces stress on other nearby trees and makes stump grinding much easier. It’s also safer for the workers and their equipment since there is less of a chance of being hit by severe weather or extreme heat.

Tree Dormancy

Most trees become dormant in the fall, which greatly reduces the stress of the removal process. The lower energy reserves will make it easier for the soil and nearby vegetation to heal and prepare for the next growing season.

Less Chance of Spreading Disease

Disease is one of the best reasons to remove a tree from your property. Tree diseases spread quickly, especially during the spring and summer. That risk is significantly lowered during the fall thanks to the cooler weather and fewer insects, which makes it the perfect time to remove a diseased tree without spreading diseases to other trees. It might even stop an outbreak before it has the chance to take hold and do any serious damage to its surroundings.

Improved Visibility

One very obvious benefit of fall tree removal and trimming is improved visibility. Trees have started to lose their leaves, which makes it easier to identify damaged tree limbs or dead trees. An experienced arborist might even find that they don’t have to completely remove a tree from your property. If they can identify a damaged or diseased branch, they may be able to trim it or apply an antifungal or pest control treatment to save the tree. A pruned tree will recover more slowly during the fall, but the pruning itself won’t disturb active growth cycles and put additional stress on nearby plant life.

If you’ve been putting off having a troublesome tree removed from your property, you still have time to do so before fall is in full swing. The late summer weather is ideal for it, and you’re less likely to put stress on the other trees and plants on your property.
