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!

4 Questions to Ask When Hiring a Tree Service Company

September 30, 2026April 19, 2023 by The Parke Company

When disaster strikes in the form of damaging spring and summertime weather, it seems that fly-by-night businesses try to make a buck on the misfortune. All too often, our news hours following a storm are filled with stories of roof-repair and tree-service companies that take way too much money from customers and never deliver a service. People like that give all the businesses in their industry a bad name.

But if need such services — like hiring a reputable company to clear trees from your yard following a storm — there are certain qualities and qualifications you should look for. Before hiring a service company, consider the following:

How long have they been in business? You probably want to do business with a company that is established and trusted in your community. The Parke Company and Tree Service of Nashville have served our area for more than 20 years. We’re not going anywhere soon.
Is the company insured? If there is unintentional damage to your property or if someone is hurt on the job, is it your responsibility or theirs? Make sure they are bonded and insured as necessary.
Are they members of organizations and groups that keep them at the leading edge of their industry? For example: The Parke Company and Tree Service of Nashville are certified members of the International Society of Arboriculture.
What would your friends say about the business? Getting a reference or referral in these days of social media is incredibly fast and easy. Ask your friends on Facebook and Twitter for recommendations. Search sites like yelp.com and the Better Business Bureau for information on a business before hiring them. Reviews, referrals and recommendations are more valuable than any amount of advertising a company can do.

If you have any questions about Tree Service of Nashville’s qualifications or services, please feel free to contact us. We’re happy to discuss your needs with you.

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.
