My father was taught by his employer over 60 years ago to always recommend trimming a tree even if it was in decline. The reason being, if you removed the tree your job was eliminated for the future, however trimming at least enabled the possibility of continued work . Ingold Tree Service Inc. disagrees with this concept depending on the species if a tree is in decline and in a compromising location it is best to remove it before it is fully dead creating a much more dangerous removal increasing the removal teams liability and increasing the clients cost.
Trimming or dead wooding for most species can be done any time of the year. Certain species must be done late fall or when they are dormant, upon inspection of your tree or just by the knowing your species our certified arborist would be able to recommend what time of year would be best to trim your tree.
Removals can be performed any time of year ( our saws are always sharp ) so what ever works best for you, but remember the longer you wait the more dangerous the removal gets.
In the Region of Waterloo there are bylaws involving wood lots and heritage trees. Our laws are constantly changing so if a permit was required we would submit the necessary information and obtain the permit before proceeding .
