Upstate SC homeowners urged to address tree hazards during winter

As trees across Upstate South Carolina lose their leaves, homeowners get a clear look at the true structure of their trees. According to Martin Tree and Turf Care, a licensed provider of tree trimming and pruning services in Greenville, winter is the ideal time to correct structural issues and reduce storm-season hazards.

“When the leaves are gone, we can finally see which limbs are strong and which ones need attention,” said James Martin, owner of Martin Tree and Turf Care. “Winter gives us visibility we simply don’t get during the rest of the year. It’s the safest and most accurate time to prune.”

The company explains why winter pruning benefits homeowners across the Upstate:

• Weak or cracked limbs are easier to spot
Bare branches reveal problems often hidden during spring and summer.

• Trees recover better in cold weather
Low temperatures slow pests and disease, helping cuts heal cleanly.

• Safer structure going into storm season
Removing risky branches now helps prevent emergency removals later.

• Stronger growth when spring returns
Correcting crowded or crossing limbs gives trees a healthier start.

Martin notes that Upstate SC often sees strong winds late in the winter.

“Most major tree failures we handle in Greenville could have been prevented with a simple winter assessment,” Martin said. “A quick inspection now saves homeowners from costly damage later.”

Martin Tree and Turf Care provides licensed pruning, tree trimming, tree removal, and year-round safety assessments for homes and small commercial properties across the Upstate.
