ATLANTA, GA, February 12, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Winter storms put added stress on trees that can lead to broken limbs and uprooted trees. The strong winds can be particularly vicious in winter. Snow and ice can accumulate and the weight on a tree's branches can cause breakage.
Before winter arrives, take the time to have an Atlanta tree service like Yellow Ribbon thoroughly inspect your trees for broken, split or loose branches, disease, compromised root system or anything that threatens the integrity of your tree. Any deadwood should be removed to reduce the chances of falling limbs and debris. Your trees should be trimmed and thinned prior to the cold months. Depending on the size of the tree, your landscaper may suggest a barrier of shrubs to help protect the tree.
"By taking steps to protect your trees before the winter storms arrive, you can not only protect your trees, but you can also avoid other property damage caused by falling limbs and toppling trees," says Gary Robertson, Owner of Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts.
By properly maintaining your trees, you can avoid costly damage and improve the chances of your tree's survival throughout the winter months. Yellow Ribbon's professional Atlanta tree trimming experts can advise you on ways to best protect your trees according to their type, the location and condition.
When you hire an Atlanta tree service, take time to learn something about the company. Make sure that they are insured and experienced. You can also ask friends, co-workers, neighbors and your landscaper to recommend a tree service that will take good care of your trees.
