New Year, New Landscape: Planning Your Spring Tree Care

Start the year off right by preparing your trees for a healthy spring. Winter is the best time to get ahead—start planning now with these tips:

• Inspect Your Trees: Schedule a property inspection with one of our Certified Arborists to identify structural issues and remove hazards to reduce the likelihood of failure. Dormant season provides a clearer view of structural issues that may be obscured by leaves.
• Fertilization: Prep for spring with fertilizer to improve your trees and plants health & recovery after winter dormancy. Proper nourishment helps ensure their vigor and improve immunity in the months ahead.

• Prune Trees Now: Pruning live branches during winter dormancy is an ideal time to improve a tree’s structure. As for dead and diseased branches, anytime is the right time!
• Assess Tree Stability: Look for signs of root instability in your trees which could come in the form of excessive lean and upheaval. One of our Certified Arborists can help by providing solutions.
• Mulching Preparation: Adding mulch during winter dormancy can help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
• Update Your Tree Care Plan: Review your tree care strategy for the year, including routine inspections, treatments, and pruning cycles.
