The winter season in Central Florida might not look very different from the gorgeous weather we get to enjoy all year long—the skies are crisp and blue, the trees are lush as ever. But even though we don’t get snow, we do experience some changes that call for season-specific tree maintenance. As your go-to Oviedo tree service, we here at Tree Work Now are here to help with winter trimming, tree removal, and anything else you might have on your calendar. So why not check off a New Year’s resolution for your backyard? Read on as we share a few key considerations for winter TLC.
Promoting Tree Health and Structure
Winter is a great season to get pruning done. After all, those pesky spring and summer storms are right around the corner. Why wait until April, May, or June and scramble to get everything done before wild weather rolls in? Pruning doesn’t just remove potentially dangerous, overgrown branches, but also helps promote healthy growth—and, in turn, a more beautiful tree.
Fortunately, you don’t have to take on this task alone. Our Oviedo tree service team has the expertise to identify which branches need trimming—and the skill to do so without harming the tree.
A Proactive Approach To Pest Management
Central Florida’s winters may be mild, but they can still bring pests and diseases—which can be damaging to your gorgeous backyard. A professional arborist can identify early signs of infestation, often unnoticed by the untrained eye. Through targeted treatments, we can manage these issues and help prevent further damage to your tree.
From the Ground Up
The health of a tree is deeply rooted (no pun intended!) in the quality of the soil. Use this season as an opportunity to assess and improve soil conditions. Our professional arborist can even assess your soil and make recommendations for next steps!
Meeting Winter Water Needs
Central Florida tends to receive less precipitation during the winter months—which means you might want to think about adjusting your irrigation routine. We can help you best determine the winter needs of your backyard, ensuring that trees receive adequate hydration without being overwatered (which can lead to root rot or other issues).
Securing Trees Against Winter Weather
Our everyday storms are less severe than summer hurricanes, but they can still pose risks to your backyard. Now is a great time to enlist a professional’s help in assessing your tree’s stability and structure and make any necessary recommendations, such as bracing or cabling for additional support. This proactive approach minimizes the risk of tree damage or fall during storms.
