When you have trees, you are likely of one of two minds. The first set of tree owners are very hands-off, preferring to let their trees do their own thing and thrive or fail on their own terms. In the other camp, there are tree owners who are out on the lawn every day, pruning and mulching to achieve optimal results for their trees.
We help those who prefer a happy medium between the two. When you’re looking at the best times for tree maintenance, it can be entirely up to what you want to prioritize. By season, here are the tasks that are best to do at which times:
- Spring: This is the time for pest identification and control. Like most other life, insect populations boom in spring, so we can provide identification and spraying services at this time.
- Summer: Summer is when tree maintenance largely involves a lot of watering and mulching. We can take a trek around your property, making sure each tree gets the proper water and mulch to aid in moisture retention and extra nourishment.
- Fall: This is when we are most likely to need to trim your trees. The spring growth is old by now and may be susceptible to high winds or the damaging effects of winter temperature fluctuations.
- Winter: The cold is hard for all living things, including trees. Tree maintenance for winter usually looks like us identifying and checking up on tree species most susceptible to disease, like crabapples or dogwoods. We can also prune back limbs so that they’re ready to grow anew in spring.
No matter the time of year, there is always something that we can do for your trees. Reach out today to learn more about how we can help care for the trees around your home or business!
