As the summer sun begins to set and the days get cooler, your trees start preparing for the seasonal shift. Just like you switch out your wardrobe and routines for fall, your trees also need a little extra attention to thrive through the months ahead.
The end of summer is the perfect time to assess your landscape and get ahead of potential problems before the fall and winter weather arrive. At Green Pine Tree Services, we help homeowners transition their trees and outdoor spaces safely and responsibly into the new season.
Here’s how to prepare your trees for fall, and how we can help you do it right.
Post-Summer Tree Inspections
After months of heat, storms, and growth, your trees may be hiding signs of stress or damage. Cracked limbs, pest activity, disease, or deadwood are common issues that go unnoticed, until it’s too late.
Now is the ideal time to schedule an arborist evaluation. At Green Pine Tree Services, our certified arborists can spot the early signs of trouble and help you address them before they become costly problems.
Prune and Trim Before Leaves Fall
Late summer and early fall are ideal times for tree pruning. With growth slowing down and leaves soon to fall, it’s easier to see the structure of the tree and remove weak or dangerous limbs.
Pruning now:
- Reduces the risk of falling branches during autumn storms.
- Improves tree health and shape.
- Prepare your landscape for winter.
Our team uses aerial lifts and safety-first techniques to get the job done efficiently and cleanly, with minimal disruption to your yard.
Prepare Soil and Mulch the Right Way
Trees entering dormancy still rely on healthy roots. The late summer to early fall window is perfect for refreshing mulch, improving soil quality, and making sure your trees stay hydrated as rainfall increases.
We can:
- Apply mulch correctly to avoid trunk damage.
- Check soil conditions for compaction or poor drainage.
- Recommend root zone treatments if needed.
All with an environmentally conscious approach that supports your tree’s long-term health.
Storm Prep & Tree Risk Assessments
Fall brings stronger winds, rain, and, in Texas, sometimes unpredictable storms. Now’s the time to identify trees that may risk your home and even power lines.
Our risk assessments help you:
- Decide whether trimming or removal is needed.
- Prevent emergency tree situations.
- Keep your property safe.
Seasonal Clean-Up for a Safer Yard
End of summer clean-up isn’t just about looks, it’s about safety and prevention. Removing dead branches, storm debris, and clutter helps reduce pests, mold, and slip hazards as the leaves start to fall.
