Winter can cause a lot of damage to trees. Heavy snow, ice, and wind can cause branches to fall or even full trees. If you have just dealt with a heavy winter storm and you are trying to assess and clean up the damage, you may have trees that are missing limbs or trees that look like they might have limbs that are about to fall. That means that you need to make sure that the trees are going to be handled so that they aren't going to cause problems in later storms. That's when you need to contact a tree service to see if they can help you handle the issue. There are several things that the tree service is going to be able to do for you. 

Evaluate Your Trees

One thing that the tree service is going to be able to do is to come out and look at all your trees for you. They are going to be able to tell you which ones need to be removed, which ones are going to be a problem, and which ones you need to keep an eye on. Having that information about the trees in your yard will help you make the final decision about what you are going to do with them and when you are going to do it. 

Remove Problems

The tree service is also going to be able to remove the problem limbs or trees for you. They are also going to be able to do it safely. In this case, safely means doing it without having any limbs or debris fall on your house, your car, power lines, or any people. Getting rid of those problems can help keep anything from happening if and when you get another heavy winter storm moving in. Not only are they going to be able to take care of any imminent problems, but they are also going to be able to keep new things from being a problem. They will know which branches may be a problem because of the evaluation that they did. The tree service can either cut those branches away or adjust them in some other way so that they won't fall on anything if they do fall on anything. 

Winter storms are no joke, and in a severe storm, you can end up with all kinds of damage and power outages. You can hire a tree service to help keep that problem from happening.
