Ways to Keep Your Trees Safe and Healthy this Winter

Essential Winter Tree Care Tips From Nashville Tree Experts

Winter is here and you may be wondering about keeping your trees healthy and standing throughout the cold and wet season. Nashville tree experts at The Park Company have a few tips.

First, inspect your trees. See if one tree leans in a way it never did before. Then look at the ground surrounding the base of the trunk to look for obvious rot or fungus. Look up to see if there are any branches that look unhealthy or like they may fall off in a strong wind.

Next, water your trees before the weather gets too cold; especially if the tree is fewer than 3 years old. After watering, mulch the ground surrounding the base of the tree to keep in moisture over the winter so the tree can absorb it all.

Finally, continual landscape maintenance can help lower property damage in the event of a severe winter storm. Having your trees pruned regularly will stop deteriorating limbs from falling on your house, car, or road during a storm. Also, be sure your homeowner’s insurance policy covers fallen tree limbs from ice, wind, or snow – not all of them do!

Spring storms mean thunderstorms and heavy rains. Have you looked at your trees recently? Even though they look okay on the outside, it may take an expert coming to your home and taking a look.

The Benefits of Prevention

Prevent Storm Damage: Simple Tree Maintenance Tips to Protect Your Property

At some point over the years, you’ve probably heard the phrase, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” It applies to so many thing in life — including the trees in your yard.

As spring and summer storms threaten the area, they also threaten to damage trees, your house and vehicles. By taking a few simple steps now, you can lessen any potential storm damage and protect your property.

Get branches off the roof of the house. Large branches touching your roof are simply inviting problems. Ants and other pests use those branches as a one-way street up to your roof. And just imagine the havoc they could wreak during a storm. Strong winds can sway the branches back and forth, loosening and even removing shingles. Larger branches have the potential to fall right through upper-story windows or weak spots in the roof.
Have dead or dying trees removed. Not all trees will live forever. Some have a life expectancy of 10 years or even fewer. Dead or dying trees are the weakest, of course, ready to be demolished by a good strong storm. Don’t wait for your dying trees to damage property; go ahead and have them removed when they show signs that they are beginning to die.
Think about your neighbors. Good fences make good neighbors, so you want to make sure those fences are still standing after a storm. If there are branches or even full trees that look as if they could crumble your fence during a storm, take preventative measures now to make sure those trees — and fences — are as stable as possible.
