ARE YOUR TREES READY FOR SPRING?

Imagine the moment when the snow and ice start to melt away from your landscape. When the sun peeks through the dark gloomy clouds, or when you are able to walk outside and smell the budding plants. 

Spring is upon us. Are you ready? 

Now is the time to prepare your trees. This is to benefit strength, healthy growth, and boost tree nutrients. 

Step 1:

Before saying goodbye to winter, inspect your trees for disease or any damage. Also, this is the time to prune any dead, diseased, or hazardous limbs away. We have a Certified Arborist on staff to diagnose any problems you may have. Taking care of your trees now can prevent the spread of these diseases and unwelcome pests in the spring months. 

Step 2:

Taking care of the ground around your trees is very important. Removing any fallen leaves, branches, or waste will set a healthy base for healthy growth. Also applying a slow-release fertilizer defends your trees from pests and diseases. 

Step 3: 

When the sprouts start to show add 2 to 4 inches of mulch around your trees to improve soil moisture, control weeds and help maintain the fertilizer in the soil. 

Remember tree maintenance should continue throughout the year and having a Certified Arborist come to diagnose your trees is a start.
