What is the Best Time of Year to Remove Trees from Your Yard?
You probably think you know when it’s the best time of year to remove trees in Florida. But are you sure? Well, this article will give you the definitive answer.
Spring
Spring is an excellent time to remove trees from your yard in Florida. Several factors make this the ideal season for tree removal:
- the sap has risen, making it easier to work with tree trunks and branches.
- you can clean up your yard before new growth appears.
- protect new growth from damage.
Summer
You might think that summer would be the best time to remove a tree. After all, you can get a lot done during those long, hot days when everyone else is at the beach or home in front of the air conditioner. However, removing trees during this season isn’t recommended for several reasons.
Rainy Season
Rain is an apparent reason you shouldn’t remove trees in Florida during summertime—it just doesn’t make sense to risk having your home damaged by heavy wind and rain from hurricanes and tropical storms. Avoiding the rainy season means more time for planning and preparation before any storm blows through town!
Hurricane Season
Another reason why you should wait until fall to remove trees from your yard is that hurricane season tends to start in late June and last through November. If not removed properly before hurricane season begins, fallen trees have a greater chance of damaging homes and even causing injury if they land on someone while they’re outside enjoying themselves during these months.
Fall
If you’re looking for a time when the weather is cooler, fall is the perfect option. We can work in colder temperatures and reduce stress on both our crews and your trees during this season. Many people prefer fall because they can schedule tree removal and other services around other work they need to be done on their property.
Fall also offers plenty of opportunities for landscaping projects! It’s an excellent time to plant new trees or shrubs that will grow during warm months. Fall also makes it easy to produce perennials like azaleas, hydrangeas, and camellias since their roots have time before winter arrives to establish themselves in their new environment.
With all these great benefits of working in fall come to some challenges, too—the main challenge being weather conditions! You may think it would be easier for us. Still, sometimes strong winds can pose dangerous hazards for our workers, so extra care needs to be taken before starting any job site activity during such conditions (also, remember high winds = less sunlight reaching plants).
Winter
Winter is the best time to remove trees from your yard in Florida because the tree is dormant and the ground is dry. Trees are more likely to have active roots that haven’t been exposed yet if you wait until spring when they are growing again.
Also, storm season is over, and dirt won’t be as wet or muddy after a heavy rainstorm. This makes it easier for us to get our equipment into hard-to-reach places like under large trees with heavy branches that hang low over lawns or driveways to cut them down safely without damaging anything below them.
The Best Time of Year to Remove Trees: Conclusion
The best time to have a tree removed is during the dry season when the tree is in a dormant state. This means that you should avoid removing trees during wet weather or during periods of drought when there has been no rainfall for an extended period. The most important reason for this is that as long as there’s even a little moisture on your property, it makes it much easier for fungal diseases like oak root fungus to spread through the roots and damage nearby trees.
With proper care taken in removing your tree, you can be sure that its removal will not cause any future problems with your yard or home.
As you can see, the best time to remove trees from your yard in Florida is definitely during the late fall or early winter.
