Now is the time to cut that limb hanging over your home

Winter is coming to Oregon and so is the freezing rain. If you have trees around your house, you know when the freezing rain hits, some of those limbs will be coming down from the weight of the ice hanging off of them.

Now, if those limbs are above your home, then you and your family are in danger of getting hurt or worse. When that limb falls on your home, it won't slide off your roof like a leaf, it could go right through that roof and do significant damage.

So, this is the time to get those limbs removed while the rates are reasonable. The cutting services don't like to be out in the wet and cold weather either, meaning that the cutting services raise the prices as the temperature starts to drop.

For the number to some great tree and limb removal companies in the Washington County, Oregon area call or e-mail me anytime.

Hi Todd: Uh oh. Many of your posts have shown what a "cut up" you can be. And... now you're armed with a chain saw. Yikes... where can I hide ?

Todd,

Five years ago I sold my home of 35 years with trees, leaves, and much vegetation to be trimmed, for one with no leaves or trees to worry about, or gutters to clog!!! Thanks, Fran

Todd, I always have my chain-saw at the ready!!! there is always a tree or limb to be cut. Of course we are in the county and there are thousands of trees on our property...

Sound advise, nothing makes a sound quite like a limb falling in the middle of the night. Or the realization of having to deal with it in the cold. I got a good dose of it last year. ;)

Hey Todd,

You're right about trimming tree limbs away from a property. It's alot like insurance or driving drunk. No one ever expects it will happen to them. Hopefully your message will be received by all that need to act on it before it is too late. I will help to pass it on. Thanks for the reminder.

Karen - Just protecting my family - lol

Fran - Those leaves can take years off a roof's life.

Charles - I'm jealous, I want property like that!

Keith or Robin - With winters here being so wet, the ground gets so saturated and the roots just come right out of the ground or the limbs get ice on them and just can't handle the weight.

Judy - What ever gets my name out there, I will draw the line at any Paris Hilton like videos (PROMISE)

Wes - Talking to my friend who does tree trimming, he said he had to cut three limbs this week alone out of houses! It was already too late!
