Google post ideas for tree service companies: November to January

Once the leaves drop, it is easier to see a tree's shape and any dead or damaged limbs. Late fall and winter are a common time for pruning many trees, and they also bring snow, ice and wind storms. Your posts can help homeowners spot risks from the ground and plan work before spring growth starts.

How to use this list

• Pick one idea a week and rotate the kinds of post: a seasonal tip, a service spotlight, a local post, a customer question, and a real offer only when you have one. Don't run the same kind two weeks in a row.
• Only mention services you actually offer and facts you can point to on your own website. No made-up prices, discounts or promises.
• Put the point in the first sentence. Name your service and your town once, naturally.
• Use one of your own job photos when one fits. Never use a stock photo that pretends to be your work.
• Use the Call now or Book button for the next step. Google's posts policy says posts with contact details it can't verify, including phone numbers, may be removed (Google's posts content policy).

November

Leaves are down and the dormant season begins.

1. Why late fall and winter suit pruning many trees

   Many trees are dormant now, and with the leaves gone, a crew can see the branch structure and make cleaner choices about what to cut.

   Include: Post this only if you offer pruning or trimming, with a photo of a tree your crew pruned and the service name plus your town.

2. Tree removal: when it is needed and how we do it safely

   Explain when removal makes sense, like a dead or badly damaged tree near the house, and how your crew protects the home and yard.

   Include: Your real safety steps, a removal photo from a job, and the Call button.

3. Is my tree dead or just dormant?

   Share signs owners can check from the ground, such as brittle twigs, loose or missing bark and fungus near the base, and when to have it looked at.

   Include: Post this if you do tree assessments, and say certified arborist only if your website says so.

4. Heavy branches over roofs and driveways in your town

   Winter storms put stress on big limbs over roofs, driveways and cars, so now is a good time to have them checked in your town.

   Include: Your town name, a photo of limbs your crew cleared from over a roof, and your service area.

5. Bare branches make problems easier to spot

   Without leaves, owners can see dead limbs, cracks, broken branches hanging in the canopy and branches rubbing together.

   Include: A winter photo of a tree with a problem limb, a note to look from the ground only, and the Book button.

6. Before guests arrive: low limbs over the driveway

   With more cars in the driveway at Thanksgiving, low or dead branches over parking spots and walkways are worth handling first.

   Include: A photo of a cleared driveway or walkway and your holiday hours only if you have set them.

December

Snow, ice, wind, and storm safety.

1. Snow and ice on branches: why not to shake them

   Shaking or hitting icy limbs can snap them and drop ice on the person below, so it is safer to let it melt and call if a limb looks ready to break.

   Include: Use this in cold-winter areas, with a winter photo from your work and the Call button.

2. Stump grinding: get that old stump out of the way

   Old stumps get in the way of mowing and planting, and grinding takes the stump down below the surface so the spot can be reused.

   Include: Post this only if you offer stump grinding, with a before-and-after photo and your town name.

3. Who is responsible for a tree on the property line?

   Give a general answer only: the rules vary by state and town, so owners should check local rules and talk with their neighbor first.

   Include: No legal advice, plus an offer to look at the tree and explain the work it needs.

4. After a storm: stay clear of downed lines and hanging limbs

   Tell owners to keep away from any branch touching a power line and call the utility, and not to cut tangled or hanging limbs themselves.

   Include: Mention storm or emergency service only if you truly offer it, plus the Call now button.

5. Holiday lights in trees: keep them safe

   Remind owners to keep lights and ladders well away from power lines and to hang only what they can reach safely from the ground.

   Include: A short safety reminder and a photo of a healthy, well-pruned yard tree from your work.

6. Done with your real Christmas tree? Here are options

   Many towns run curbside pickup or drop-off for trees after the holidays, so suggest checking with the town for the details.

   Include: Mention chipping or haul-away only if you offer it, and do not list town dates unless the town has posted them.

7. Wind storms: what to look for in tall trees

   Strong winds can loosen roots or break weak limbs, so owners should look from the ground for leaning trunks, lifted soil or new cracks.

   Include: Use this where winter brings wind instead of snow, with your service area and the Call button.

January

Plan the year's tree work before spring growth.

1. New year yard plan: schedule pruning before spring

   Getting pruning done before trees leaf out keeps the work easier to plan and lets the tree start the season in good shape.

   Include: Your town name, your booking method, and a real offer only if you actually run one.

2. Late winter is a common time to prune fruit trees

   Many fruit trees are pruned while dormant in late winter, which shapes the tree and opens it to light before the new season.

   Include: Post this only if you prune fruit trees, with a photo from a real fruit tree job.

3. How close can a tree be to my house?

   There is no one rule, because it depends on the kind of tree, its size when grown and its roots, so it helps to have it looked at.

   Include: An offer to check trees near the house and the Book button.

4. Cracks, cavities, and fungus at the base

   These signs can mean a tree is weak inside, and they are easy to see from the ground in winter when the yard is bare.

   Include: A photo of a warning sign from one of your jobs and a note that a pro should judge the risk.

5. Planting a new tree? Think about its full size

   A small tree can grow into power lines, gutters or the roof, so owners should plan for how big it will get before they plant.

   Include: Mention planting help only if you offer it, plus your service area.

6. Firewood or mulch from your crew

   Let owners know about wood or mulch that comes from your work, which can be useful for winter fires or spring garden beds.

   Include: Post this only if you sell or give away firewood or mulch, with a photo and how to ask for it.

7. Why big tree work is not a do-it-yourself job

   Climbing, chainsaws and falling limbs are dangerous, so large pruning and removal should go to a trained crew with the right gear.

   Include: A photo of your crew in safety gear, and mention insurance or certifications only if you have them.

Questions customers ask this time of year

Is winter a good time to trim my trees?

For many trees, yes. When trees are dormant and the leaves are off, it is easier to see what needs cutting, and the tree has time before spring growth. Some trees are better pruned at other times, so ask us about yours.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree?

It depends on where you live. Some towns and neighborhoods have rules for removing certain trees, and others do not. Check with your town or HOA, and we can share what we know about your area before any work starts.
