  • Spring is just around the corner, which means it’s time to start thinking about your spring cleaning projects. Winter weather wreaks havoc on outdoor property and landscapes. To get a jump on your spring cleaning tasks, it is essential to assess your property and determine what can be cleaned up now that will expedite your list for spring tasks. 

    Removing Dead And Broken Limbs

    Snow, wind, ice, and cold temperatures can compromise the health of trees and their limbs. While cleaning up fallen limbs may be easy enough for home and property owners, there are times when dying limbs should be removed by professionals to ensure safety. Waiting until limbs fall can increase the amount of future yard work and the possibility of substantial costs if any structural damage occurs after the limbs fall. 

    Ideally, your trees should be assessed quarterly for weakness so that you are aware of any possible issues that could arise due to extreme weather conditions. Keeping trees pruned and removing dead and dying limbs will significantly reduce the chances of further damage and time spent cleaning up debris.

    Stump Removal

    Preparing the landscape for the spring can prove to be difficult if tree stumps are in the way. Stumps of trees and shrubs can have vast networks of roots, making it almost impossible to pull out on your own with standard yard tools. The stump removal process includes pulling out the stump of the tree with the help of professional equipment and then grinding the stump into wood chips.

    Removing stumps allows you to landscape and hardscape design without the issues of obstacles in your way. Stumps that are allowed to remain on your property can eventually cause the soil to erode, the ground to become uneven, and pose a risk to other foliage in the area through disease. Whether you remove stumps at the time of tree removal or remove stumps that are pre-existing on your property, your spring cleaning efforts will be much more productive without them in your way.
