Winter is quickly approaching, and with it comes the potential for heavy snow, sleet, and ice that can affect your trees and the surrounding area. During this season, your trees are particularly vulnerable, especially those that are weak, sick, or dead. These trees can pose a significant risk to your home and property. However, by ensuring proper tree care before the winter weather arrives, you can protect your family, home, and property from potential tree damage.

Whether the Hudson Valley and Pawling, NY region is experiencing ice, freezing rain, snow, or sleet, these severe weather conditions can lead to various tree-related hazards on your property.

- Branch Breakage: Overgrown or weak branches are at risk of breaking during high winds, posing dangers to structures, vehicles, and individuals.

- Uprooted Trees: Trees with compromised or shallow root systems can be uprooted during storms, causing extensive damage to the surrounding area.

- Contact with Power Lines: Storm-damaged trees may come into contact with power lines, resulting in power outages and hazardous situations.
