Winter brings a unique set of challenges for tree health, from heavy snow to ice storms that can wreak havoc on trees and property alike. At JL’s Tree Service, we understand how crucial winter tree care is for protecting not only your trees but also your home and family. Our team specializes in winter storm preparation and emergency tree services, ensuring that your trees are safe, healthy, and ready to withstand the harshest weather.


Whether you're concerned about falling branches or looking to boost your tree's resilience, here’s how our professional services can help you prepare for the winter season.

1. Pre-Winter Tree Pruning: Reduce Risk, Enhance Safety

Why Pre-Winter Pruning Matters

As temperatures drop and the first snow begins to fall, trees become more susceptible to breakage, especially if they have dead or weak branches. Pruning before winter arrives helps minimize the risk of falling branches, which could damage your property or pose a safety risk to your family.


How JL’s Tree Service Can Help

Our certified arborists have years of experience in late fall and winter pruning. We remove weak branches, clear away deadwood, and trim areas vulnerable to storm damage, all while promoting healthy growth in the spring. With our pre-winter pruning, your trees will be safer, stronger, and ready to handle heavy snowfall and ice.

2. Winter Storm Preparation: Protect Your Trees and Property

Prepare for the Unexpected

Storms can strike with little warning, and winter storms are particularly damaging due to the weight of ice and snow on branches. A well-prepared tree is less likely to suffer from major breakage. By addressing potential weak points now, you can reduce the likelihood of emergency situations when the snow starts to fall.


Our Comprehensive Storm Preparation Services

At JL’s Tree Service, we provide complete winter storm preparation for trees. This includes inspecting your trees for signs of structural weakness, such as cracks, splits, or diseased branches. We also recommend supportive techniques like cabling and bracing to add strength to older or more vulnerable trees. With our advanced equipment and expertise, we ensure your trees are as storm-ready as possible.

3. Emergency Tree Services: Available 24/7

Winter storms don’t wait for regular business hours, and neither do we. Our team at JL’s Tree Service is on call 24/7 for emergency tree services, providing immediate assistance in the event of broken branches, fallen trees, or storm-related tree hazards.

Whether it’s a large fallen tree or precariously hanging branches, you can trust us to respond quickly and professionally.

4. Winter Tree Health Tips: Keep Your Trees Protected

Simple Steps for Healthier Trees in Winter

Winter weather can be rough on trees, but there are proactive steps you can take to protect their health:

  • Mulching: A layer of mulch around the base of your trees insulates the roots, keeping them warmer during freezing temperatures.

  • Protecting Against Salt Damage: Road salt can harm trees, causing browning and even dieback. Avoid piling snow treated with salt around your trees, or consider using a salt alternative.

  • Avoiding Tree Damage from Snow and Ice: Heavy snow can snap branches. Avoid piling snow on tree branches, and consider gently removing excess snow after a storm to reduce stress on your trees.


By following these tips and working with JL’s Tree Service, you’ll give your trees the best chance of thriving through winter.
