Each season brings unique challenges and opportunities for tree maintenance, highlighting the importance of tailored care practices. Spring ushers in a period of vibrant growth, necessitating specific care essentials to kickstart healthy development; as summer temperatures rise, trees encounter stress from heat and pests, underscoring the need for vigilant maintenance; the approaching fall requires preparations to bolster trees against the impending cold, while winter demands thorough checks to shield them from the harsh impacts of snow and ice.​

This seasonal guide is designed to equip homeowners with practical insights for nurturing their trees year-round. By following these tips, they can feel confident and capable in ensuring their trees remain a testament to the property’s beauty and ecological health.

Spring Essentials for a Healthy Tree Start

With the arrival of spring, trees awaken from their winter dormancy, ushering in a period of significant growth and renewal. This vital season demands early and diligent care, a responsibility that falls on us as homeowners, gardeners, and landscape enthusiasts. Starting with proper watering to support the burgeoning foliage and newly forming roots, we must ensure trees receive consistent, deep watering to establish a strong foundation for the year’s growth, particularly for young trees that are still fortifying their place in the landscape. Hiring a certified arborist can provide expert guidance and tree consultation, reinforcing our proactive approach to tree care.​

Spring also marks the ideal time for a comprehensive health check involving a thorough inspection for signs of damage or disease that may have occurred over the winter. Promptly addressing any issues, from pest infestations to fungal diseases, through targeted treatments can prevent minor problems from escalating into significant threats. This proactive approach sustains the tree’s vitality, setting a robust stage for its continued development and contribution to the environment’s health and aesthetics.

Summer Maintenance to Combat Heat Stress and Pests

Eagle Tree’s proactive strategies, like mulching to retain soil moisture and reduce heat stress and implementing targeted pest management practices, ensure trees are protected from the summer’s common invaders.
