As summer turns to fall, it’s important to make sure that your trees are healthy and properly cared for. At The Parke Company, we believe that it is essential to focus on long term tree care and health. We provide excellent tree services so that your trees remain beautiful and healthy for years to come. Here are some of the best ways to take care of your trees:
Three Ways to Take Care of Your Trees Year-Round
1.) Apply Fertilizer During Fall
Although raking up leaves adds to the aesthetics of your yard, removing leaves can deprive trees and plants of the nutrients that decomposing leaves release. In order to compensate for this, you should apply one to three pounds of slow-release nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. Then cultivate it lightly. It’s best to fertilize trees in late September and early October in order to promote strong and healthy root growth. If you’re not sure how much fertilizer you need or how to properly fertilize your trees, consult with one of our friendly and knowledgeable experts.
2.) Prune Trees During Winter
Pruning involves removing dead or damaged branches in order to make your trees healthier. Pruning will lead to increased growth and fruitfulness. It’s best to prune trees during winter because the trees are dormant then. It’s important to make sure that the correct branches are being pruned. Consult a professional from The Parke Company to guarantee that your trees are being properly pruned.
3.) Inspect Trees in the Spring
When spring arrives, you should inspect your trees and treat any damage immediately. Our professional team will make sure that your trees are still healthy and remove dead trees if necessary. We can also perform lawn services.
Strong and healthy trees always fare better than unhealthy and weak ones, so it’s important to make sure that your trees are well-cared for all year long.
