The start of a new year is a great time to attend to important maintenance tasks. In winter, dormant trees can heal and recover from trimming and are less likely to suffer from disease or pest infestation than in spring or summer. It’s also a good time to remove damaged limbs, leaves, weeds and stumps. Here are four tips to help you develop a plan to start caring for your trees in the new year. By spring, you may see them flourishing.
1. Inspect Trees for Common Issues
Conduct your own new year’s inspection of the trees on your property. Trees are susceptible to disease, pest infestation and other damage. Pests can chew leaves and damage bark, weakening a tree and making it more vulnerable to disease. Ailing trees may show signs like discolored or wilting leaves, changes in the bark and dead branches. Weather events can damage trees by snapping limbs, bending trunks and even uprooting the entire tree. Note any signs of damage or disease, and then schedule a consultation with a professional tree service.
2. Work With Arborists to Develop a Plan for Your Green Space
The start of the year is an ideal time to meet with tree service specialists to share your goals for the trees on your commercial property and any concerns about their health, appearance, and how they blend with the rest of the landscape. Our experts know that each property and owner is unique, and we will work with you to meet your goals. If you like, we can develop an annual care plan to optimize the health and beauty of each tree in your commercial space.
3. Schedule Professional Inspections
In addition looking your trees over yourself, make regular inspections by tree service professionals part of your annual plan. They can identify problems that you may not recognize. Working with experienced arborists, you’ll receive great advice and guidance to optimize the health and beauty of your trees.
4. Get Help With Maintenance
Let professional arborists trim and prune your trees as needed and keep foliage from overgrowing and obstructing objects in their environment. Check trees to make sure they are not blocking road signs, cameras and lights.
Weed abatement is another important aspect of tree maintenance. Weeds at the base of your trees rob the trees of water and nutrients and provide cover for pests. Dry weeds can catch fire easily. Professionals have the skills and tools to perform proper maintenance quickly and safely.
Trees are a terrific investment for commercial property, and regular maintenance is important. Keep your portfolio of trees thriving with thoughtful care and support from professional arborists.
