It’s important to maintain the health of your trees. This is going to ensure they are beautiful and vibrant. But keeping your trees healthy and happy is a year-round endeavour, not just during the summer. Our team at Five Star Tree Services can offer our services throughout the entire year, whenever you need us, we can help! We want to go over how you can take care of your trees through the summer, fall, winter, and spring.
Summer Tree Care
Maintaining regular tree maintenance during the summer is crucial. We’re talking about making sure your tree is getting enough water, relying on rain is not always reliable. You should also be using mulch around your trees to help regulate the temperature and keep moisture in. Just as people and animals are more active during the nice weather in the summer, so are diseases and pests, so make sure to watch out for them infecting your trees. If your tree becomes distressed, this can include things like wilting leaves or weird growths, you should call your local arborist right away to come for an assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. The quicker you can treat a problem, the better chance your tree has of recovering.
Fall Tree Care
Just like pruning is best done in the spring, some fall trimming is also good to do. This gives you the opportunity to remove any dead or diseased branches to help make your tree stronger for the winter months. This is going to help prevent any damage from these weak limbs breaking off in the winter. You should also use the fall as a time to prepare your trees for the cold. You can add more mulch around the base of your trees to help keep the roots warmer.
Winter Tree Care
If any of your trees require removal, the winter is the best time to do this job. It is safer for both your yard and trees. Stress is drastically reduced when you utilize trees being dormant in the winter. It also helps to reduce the risk of spreading diseases, since these are also dormant during the winter. Removing any and all dead, dying, diseased, or risky trees from your property in the winter is best.
Spring Tree Care
Spring is the best time to inspect your trees’ health and do some pruning maintenance. The best thing about this is you can simultaneously do both of these things. While you go around pruning, keep an eye out for any issues. When you prune our trees, this is going to promote healthy new growth and help to shape your tree when it’s growing.
