As the temperatures rise and spring transitions into summer, your trees are entering a phase of growth and change. May is the ideal time to ensure your trees are healthy, strong, and ready to thrive through the hotter months ahead. At Green Pine Tree Services, we know how important it is to care for your trees year-round.
Here are 4 tips to keep your landscape looking its best this Summer
1. Prune Dead or Overgrown Branches
Summer is an excellent time to prune your trees. Pruning not only improves appearance, but also enhances tree health by removing dead or weak limbs, improves air circulation, and prevents overcrowding.
Proper pruning encourages new growth and reduces the risk of pests and diseases. Our trained arborists ensure every cut supports the long-term health and shape of your trees.
2. Mulch to Protect Roots
Adding a layer of mulch around the base of your trees helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and prevent weed growth. However, it’s important to not pile mulch directly against the trunk, as this can lead to rot and disease. A 2 to 4 inch layer of organic mulch, applied in a circular shape around the tree base, is best.
3. Water Wisely
Summer rain can give your trees a healthy start, but as temperatures rise, it’s important to ensure they’re getting enough water. Deep and infrequent watering helps strong root growth, however frequent shallow watering can actually harm your trees. Newly planted trees need consistent watering as they establish roots.
4. Remove Old Stumps
Summer is also a great time to clean up your yard and remove any old tree stumps. Stumps can attract pests, spread diseases, and take up valuable space in your landscape. With professional stump grinding, we can eliminate stumps quickly and efficiently, leaving your yard safer and cleaner.
