As the vibrant foliage begins to change across Hunterdon County, it’s easy to appreciate the beauty of mature trees on your property. But fall isn’t just a time for leaf peeping—it’s also one of the most important seasons for proactive tree care. At Riverside Tree Experts, we encourage homeowners to use this seasonal transition to inspect, prune, and tree maintainance their trees before winter storms arrive.
Fall Visibility and Tree Health
Once the leaves begin to thin, it becomes easier to assess the structure of your trees. Dead branches, split limbs, or weak points that were hidden by summer growth become much more visible. Fall pruning allows us to address these issues before snow and ice put additional stress on limbs. For species like oak or maple that are common in Hunterdon County, fall is an ideal window for pruning because it minimizes disease risk and supports healthy spring growth.
Prepare for Winter Weather Now
Autumn is the last chance to remove dangerous branches that could fall under the weight of snow or during high winds. In rural and suburban areas like Frenchtown, Stockton, and Lambertville, downed limbs can block driveways, damage vehicles, or knock out power. Pruning in the fall reduces these risks and saves homeowners from costly emergency calls during the coldest months.
