Why Summer Is the Smartest Time for Tree Removal

When most people think about tree removal, they often assume it’s best done in the fall or winter. However, summer offers many unique advantages that make it an ideal season for removing hazardous or unwanted trees.
1. Easier Access to Trees
With drier soil and longer days, summer provides better access for heavy machinery and climbing crews. Unlike muddy spring conditions or icy winter terrain, summer allows for safer and more efficient operations.
2. Clear Visibility of Tree Health
During summer, trees are in full bloom. This makes it easier for arborists to spot signs of disease, dead branches, or structural instability that may not be as visible in dormant seasons.
3. Preparation for Storm Season
Summer storms in Michigan can bring high winds, lightning, and heavy rain. Removing weak or leaning trees now can help protect your home, vehicles, and family before severe weather strikes.
4. Improved Property Planning
Many homeowners plan landscaping, patios, or pool installations during summer. Tree removal clears the way for these projects and prevents future issues with roots or falling limbs.
5. Faster Recovery for Your Landscape
After tree removal, grass and surrounding plants recover faster in the summer sun, especially with regular watering. This means your yard can bounce back quickly and continue to thrive.
