While temperatures continue to cool as we head into fall, it’s a great time to prepare trees for winter on your property.
Here at Thornton’s Tree Service we offer pruning services, especially for dead, damaged, or overgrown branches. Pruning helps prepare trees for winter storms, preventing breakage and damage. We still see a lot of trees in the Abilene area that are in desperate need of trimming of damage left over from the Big Freeze of February 2021 with dead branches literally just dropping off trees and damaging property.
Tree Health Inspections
As trees begin to prepare for dormancy, it’s a good time to offer health inspections. If you are concerned our Arborist Riley Holt can come out to your property to do an assessment. This pre-emptive visit can help to address potential diseases, pest infestations, or weak branches before they become major problems.
Prepare Trees for Winter Along With Fall Cleanup and Leaf Removal
While we do have a lot of live oaks in the region that shed their leaves in the spring, from March to May, we do have many trees shed leaves in the fall, making cleanup a common need. Check the trees on your property, do you have dead branches that would pose a threat to property if they were to come crashing down unexpectedly? Along with tree trimming and removal we can do yard cleanup along with shrub and tree trimming to help maintain your lawns and prevent blocked gutters or drains.
Storm Damage Prevention
September is often the calm before winter storms hit. Ice storms are a real threat here in west Texas. Thornton’s Tree Service can offer storm preparation, including removing weak limbs or vulnerable trees that could cause damage to homes or property.
Stump Grinding and Tree Removal
We specialize in these services for homeowners who want to clean up their yards before winter or need to address tree hazards before snow and ice come. One of the main advantages of using a professional stump grinder is that it effectively prevents the stump from regrowing. Without grinding, the stump may sprout new growth, leading to additional maintenance over time. Grinding eliminates the root system’s ability to regenerate, ensuring the tree won’t come back. Not only that, but removing a stump through grinding improves the visual appeal of your yard.
Emergency Tree Services
Just a reminder that we are available for emergency services 24/7. We know that tree emergencies don’t always happen during regular business hours Monday thorugh Friday. That’s why our emergency response team is on standby 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ready to tackle any tree-related problem at any time. Whether it’s late at night, over the weekend, or during a holiday, you can count on us to be there when you need us most.
We look forward to helping Abilene area homeowners prepare for the months ahead.
