Keeping Your Trees Look Wonderful and Healthy This Spring
Now that spring is getting closer, it’s time to start getting your trees ready for the warmer weather and new leaves. There is more to getting your trees prepared for spring than just letting nature take its course. If you desire your trees to be healthy and look their best, follow these tree service tips:
Inspect and Tidy Your Trees
Check your tree for any noticeable damage or disease while there are no leaves on it. This way, you can see everything clearly. Take this time while it is still a bit cool to prune any unsafe or dead branches before the new growth begins, and while the pests and diseases are dormant. Remove any dead and severely damaged trees that didn’t make it through the winter and trim any fall plants that may have overgrown.
Clean Your Property
Go through your yard and take the time to remove leaves leftover from autumn, any branches that may have fallen or broken off during the winter, and general waste and assorted buildup from the wintertime. This way, all of the plants on your property including your trees have a fresh, clean start to grow healthily.
Planting and Care
Plant any new trees you have acquired for the year once it warms up a little bit. Mulch around the new saplings to help control weeds and assist with maintaining ideal moisture levels in the soil. Add fertilizer at the same time you would to the rest of your lawn.
Prepare for the Season
Brace any trees that may not make it through a storm and think about installing some kind of lightning diversion in the tree itself or on your property to protect older, tall trees.
