New Year, New Landscape Goals: Tree Care Projects to Start Planning for Now
Contact a Tree Arborist Near You to Schedule an Appointment in Advance
Make a New Year’s resolution you’ll actually keep: taking care of your trees!
Why are we confident that you can keep this one? Because all you have to do is contact us at Arb Tech, Kansas City’s tree care pros and green industry leaders.
If you’re looking for the easiest-to-meet resolutions ever, here are a few ideas you can add to your tree care list and check off almost immediately.
Kansas City Tree Pruning
If you like to keep your trees tidy or shape your shrubbery, then you’ll want to start thinking about when to schedule tree pruning before spring.
Depending on your tree species, you may need to have it pruned before dormancy ends, just before it begins to produce leaves. As long as you don’t suspect that you need pruning to prevent property damage or injury, then you should schedule your pruning and trimming services for the best time based on your tree type. We can help determine when that is.
However, if you have reason to believe a limb or an entire tree needs to be pruned or trimmed up because it poses a danger, you’ll want to call Arb Tech immediately to schedule an appointment.
Tree Removal by a Certified Arborist
If you have a tree that’s not looking very healthy, or one that you need removed so you can expand your house, build a fence, or install a shed, then that’s a job for Arb Tech! Tree removal can be complex, and it’s certainly hard work.
Cutting down a large tree can also be quite dangerous because it requires specific skills to prevent property and personal damage. If you don’t know how to cut a limb or trunk to control the directional fall, then you shouldn’t attempt it yourself.
As long as your tree isn’t at risk of falling as it stands today, you can wait until spring for tree removal by a certified arborist.
Cabling and Bracing Trees
Cabling and bracing falls under the category of tree preservation - a big part of taking care of Kansas City’s arbors. We certified arborists are tree stewards, always looking for ways we can improve safety and tree care. Part of being a good steward means taking the right steps to prevent having to remove an entire tree.
Cabling and bracing enable us to do this. It’s a proactive technique designed to support a tree’s structure and reduce stress that high winds or heavy ice and snow can cause. Cabling and bracing may also be necessary if your otherwise healthy tree begins to show a major defect. These methods prevent us from having to remove a tree altogether - which is especially important for the large trees you’ve been caring for on your property for years. Those big ones are irreplaceable!
During the winter, as you evaluate the condition of your lawn or garden, you might notice subtle changes in how your trees are growing. If that’s the case, you can contact Arb Tech to schedule cabling and bracing today, to prevent damage, or to have us determine the best time to apply cables and braces to your tree.
Planting a New Tree in Kansas City
When the ground is frozen during winter, it’s not an ideal time to plant a new tree. However, we can plant new trees for you any other time of the year, depending on the tree species you want.
If you’re resolving to plant more trees in the new year, Arb Tech can not only help you with the digging and planting, but we also can recommend and source the perfect tree for your property and your lifestyle.

Don’t Wait for Risk Assessment!
If you’d like to have your trees evaluated for health and strength, there’s never a bad time to contact a certified arborist. In fact, putting off a risk assessment is dangerous business that could land you with a major tree kerfuffle you weren’t expecting.
If your resolution is to make sure your trees are healthy, call us on January 2 and actually accomplish a resolution this year.
