Winter is the perfect time to prune and strengthen your trees for the year ahead. Cooler weather means less stress on your trees — and a lower risk of disease.
At Keane Landscaping, our certified tree care experts help North Texas homeowners keep their landscapes safe, healthy, and storm-ready.
1. Why Winter Pruning Matters
During dormancy, pruning:
Reduces the chance of spreading disease
Improves air circulation and structure
Prepares trees for strong spring growth
Prevents limb breakage from winter storms
2. Focus on Dead, Diseased, or Damaged Branches
Inspect your trees for:
Cracked or crossing branches
Fungus growth or discoloration
Branches near roofs or power lines
Our team removes hazardous limbs safely using ISA-approved techniques.
3. Protect Young Trees from Freezes
For newly planted or small trees:
Wrap trunks with breathable tree wrap
Add mulch 2–3 inches deep around the base
Water deeply before the first freeze
4. Schedule a Professional Inspection
Our arborists check for oak wilt, borer activity, and root issues.
A quick fall inspection can prevent thousands in damage later.
Conclusion
Healthy trees start with proactive care.
Trust Keane Landscaping for professional pruning, disease prevention, and freeze protection this winter.
