The NWI Guide to Winter Tree Service and Project Costs
Winter tree service? What?! Many homeowners assume that tree maintenance stops when the snow starts falling. However, at NWI Tree Service & Landscaping, winter is one of the most strategic times for property maintenance. In our latest FAQ video, Collin breaks down why we stay busy year-round and how we determine project pricing.
Why Work in the Winter?
According to Collin, winter isn’t just a “fill-in” season; it’s often the ideal time for heavy lifting:
Turf Protection: Because the ground is typically frozen, we can get heavy equipment in and out of your yard with “Damage Free Equipment Access”.
Tree Health: Winter is the safest time to prune Oaks and Elms. Pruning these species while they are dormant prevents them from contracting fungal diseases that spread easily when leaves are present.



How We Price Our Jobs
We believe in transparency when it comes to your investment. Collin highlights the four primary factors that influence a quote:
Location: Where the tree is situated on the property.
Access: How easily our crew and equipment can reach the tree.
Amount of Material: The volume of debris and wood that needs to be hauled away.
Hazard Concerns: Dead or unstable trees are harder to judge and riskier for the crew, which influences the complexity of the job.
The Importance of In-Person Estimates
You might be tempted to send a quick photo for a quote, but Collin explains why NWI prefers to see the project in person. Photos and videos can “skew the image of the tree,” making it look significantly larger or smaller than it is in reality. To provide an accurate, fair price, we need to see the site’s specifics firsthand.
