Well-maintained trees not only make your property even more beautiful but also boost property value and can save on your cooling bills. We’ve put together some seasonal tree care tips to help keep your property in optimal condition.
Winter: December through late February is the best time to aggressively prune live branches. While pruning is the most common tree maintenance procedure, it must be done correctly as improper pruning can create lasting damage or even shorten the tree’s life.
Spring: As trees are blooming after the winter, it’s easier to identify dead branches from live ones which is why late spring is the best time to schedule health assessments and dead-limbing.
Summer: Invasive pathogens such as fungus and insects are more prevalent during the summer months so it’s best to avoid aggressive pruning and take care not to wound trees with yard equipment.
Fall: Cooler temperatures mean that early Fall is the best time for planting. Planting from mid-September through October allows time for trees to root before harsh winter conditions.
