LEANDER, TX October 06, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Box Tree Care announces the expansion of its winter tree trimming services as Texas property owners prepare for the upcoming storm season. The Leander-based tree care company has increased service capacity to address heightened demand for preventive tree maintenance before severe weather arrives.
The announcement comes as meteorologists predict an active winter storm pattern for Central Texas, with potential for high winds and ice accumulation that can damage weakened or overgrown trees. The company has added equipment and personnel to accommodate the seasonal increase in service requests.
“Winter preparation requires specific trimming techniques that account for dormant tree conditions and potential storm loads,” said Josh Box, owner of Box Tree Care. “We are seeing increased awareness among property owners about the importance of preventive maintenance before severe weather events.”
The winter trimming service focuses on removing dead branches, reducing wind resistance in tree canopies, and addressing structural weaknesses that could fail under ice or wind loads. Certified arborists evaluate each tree’s species-specific requirements and growth patterns to determine appropriate trimming approaches for the dormant season.
Tree trimming during winter months offers several advantages for Texas properties. Trees experience less stress from pruning when dormant, and the absence of foliage allows arborists to better assess branch structure and identify potential hazards. The timing also prepares trees for spring growth while reducing risks during the remainder of the storm season.
Box Tree Care’s stump grinding service has also seen increased demand following recent storm damage throughout the region. The grinding process removes stumps left from storm-damaged trees, utilizing specialized equipment that grinds stumps below ground level without extensive excavation. This method preserves surrounding landscapes and eliminates tripping hazards or obstacles for lawn maintenance.
Winter tree assessments conducted by the company’s arborists examine factors including branch attachment angles, decay indicators, and crown balance. These evaluations identify trees requiring immediate attention versus those suitable for routine maintenance trimming. The assessments particularly focus on trees near structures, power lines, or high-traffic areas.
The Texas A&M Forest Service reports that proper tree maintenance can reduce storm damage by up to 75 percent. Dead or weakened branches represent the most common cause of property damage during winter storms, often falling under the weight of ice accumulation or high winds.
Box Tree Care has implemented scheduling systems to accommodate the seasonal demand increase while maintaining service timelines. The company offers free consultations where arborists assess tree conditions and provide maintenance recommendations specific to each property’s needs.
The expansion of winter services includes additional offerings such as oak wilt treatment applications during the dormant season when fungal spread risk is minimized. The company also provides lot clearing services for properties requiring comprehensive vegetation management before construction or landscaping projects.
Box Tree Care maintains full licensing and insurance coverage for all tree care operations. The company employs certified arborists who follow International Society of Arboriculture standards and Texas regulations for tree care practices. Equipment maintenance and safety protocols receive regular updates to ensure compliance with industry standards.
