TORONTO – As temperatures rise and Toronto emerges from another harsh winter, tree care experts at Tree Doctors Inc. are issuing an important advisory to homeowners and property managers across the Greater Toronto Area: now is the critical window to assess the health and safety of trees on your property – before spring growth masks damage that could pose serious risks.
Winter takes a significant toll on urban trees. Heavy snowfall, ice accumulation, freeze-thaw cycles, and high winds can weaken branches, compromise root systems, and accelerate the spread of disease – much of it invisible to the untrained eye. Left unaddressed, these issues can escalate quickly once the growing season begins.
“Every spring, we respond to calls that could have been avoided with a simple pre-season inspection. A cracked branch or a compromised root system doesn’t fix itself – it gets worse. The best time to act is right now, before the leaves come in and trees are under full growing stress.” – Certified Arborist, Tree Doctors Inc.
What Toronto Homeowners Should Watch For This Spring
According to Tree Doctors’ certified arborists, the following are key warning signs that a tree requires professional attention:
-
Dead, hanging, or cracked branches – especially those over homes, driveways, or power lines
-
Leaning trunks or newly exposed roots following winter soil movement
-
Bark damage, splits, or signs of pest activity such as bore holes or sawdust-like residue
-
Fungi, mushrooms, or soft spots at the base of the tree – indicators of internal decay
-
Trees with storm damage that were not assessed after last winter’s weather events
