Shady Spot: The Importance Of Tree Care

The Best Time Of Year To Get Your Tree Removed For A Little Less

Tree removal can be done at any time of the year as the weather permits. What is most important, is to ensure that the job gets done right, and the only way to guarantee that is by getting it done by skilled and experienced professionals.

The cost of tree removal depends on several factors, one of which is the time of year when the service is performed. That is to say that if you get the timing just right, you can look forward to enjoying a lower cost.

Dormancy Season

While you can have your tree cut or removed at any time, industry insiders agree that the dormant season is the best time to get it done, and especially if you are looking to pay a little less for the service. In Australia, this dormant season is during the winter and in early spring.

During this dormancy period, the leaves have fallen off the trees, making it a lot easier to clear the trees. The crew from the tree removal company will spend less time working on your tree and will not need as many tools and equipment for the job. Fewer man-hours often translate to a lower rate, and you can expect to spend a little less on your tree removal service during this dormant season.

When Your Tree Removal Company Has a Lighter Workload

Just as in any other niche, tree care and removal companies experience busy seasons when the demand for their services can be very overwhelming. Because it is a free market, the dynamics of the forces of demand and supply will have a significant impact on the pricing of the services. You may find that it will cost you more to have your tree removed during seasons when the demand is at its peak, such as during months when the weather is stormy and windy, and more and more people call in for emergency tree removal.

On the other hand, when the demand for tree removal services isn't as overwhelming, most companies may offer lower rates to attract more clients in order to make steady their flow of work. Coincidentally, this off-peak period lines up perfectly with the dormancy season previously discussed.

Cost savings aside, the best time of year to have your tree removed if it poses an immediate danger is as soon as possible. In this instance, how much you can save by waiting until a later date to call in the service becomes inconsequential as safety takes precedence above all else.
