Spring Tree Care Services with the Parke Company

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

We are finally getting toward the end of winter. (We can hardly believe it either.) But as the warm weather begins to pop up, it is important to make sure you have all your landscape and tree services scheduled for the spring and summer scheduled. Your trees, landscape or lawns are a valuable asset to your Nashville property so it is incredibly important to schedule with the Parke Company for your tree care services.

Tree care services to consider checking off your list for the spring and summer:

Tree or plant transplants completed while they are still dormant. This is always a great idea to finish up now because the best time to move trees and other plants is during the cold months. If you have any unfinished projects from winter, call the Parke Company to schedule the rest of your transplant services today.
Landscaping such as spring flowers, mulching, plant bed clean-up. This is prime season for lawn care and landscaping. If you need mulching, bed clean-up, or any other landscaping service, be sure to call and schedule your services as soon as possible. This time of year is a busy season for contractors, so the sooner the better!
Irrigation system check up in case of short spring and early summer. Call to have your irrigation systems tuned up or turned on to ensure they are working at optimal level when necessary. In the event that an early summer arrives, your systems will be good to go for your lawns.

Checking these items off your to-do list is important for spring, but it is vital to get them scheduled with the Parke Company in plenty of time for spring. Trees or landscape, the Parke Company has you covered. They service areas in Middle Tennessee including Brentwood, Franklin, Madison and Bellevue. Call today to schedule your tree service today!

How to Care for Your Trees in Extreme Winter

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

Though it came sooner than we expected, the cold temperatures have arrived in Middle Tennessee (and in full force). And even though you and your family can stay inside during the extreme drops in weather, your trees and landscape cannot. So what’s the best route in taking care of them? Dormancy is a tree’s defense mechanism during the cold, but any necessary work such as transplants or excavation can be done during this time with a little help from the Parke Company.

The best time to transplant trees is during the colder months. This ensures a healthy transplant because the trees are dormant. The same goes for excavation. If you need something moved (or removed) around or near a tree, this time of year is best as the ground begins to freeze.

But while these tasks are best done now, it’s important to know that these tasks are for professionals. If you are not privy to the dos and don’ts of these tree services, it could cost you the tree. The Parke Company team is specially trained and knowledgeable on transplanting, landscape and other tree services. Not only will this save you time and effort during the holiday season, but you’re assured no trees will be harmed during the project.

Not looking to transplant or excavate any trees but have a few loose ends to take care of before winter officially settles in? The Parke Company can help with that too! From cleaning your landscape and flower beds to mulching, the Parke Company will help you finish the job in no time. For more information, call the Parke Company today to talk with a team member!

Preparing Trees for the Colder Months

April 19, 2023 by The Parke Company

Summer is almost over! (We know, we can hardly believe it either.) But before the nights begin to cool down and leaves start to fall, it’s important to assess your trees and have any trees transplanted or treated before it gets too cold. This will not only prevent any unforeseen damage to your trees, but it will also keep them safe as temperatures start to drop. This time of year is key in making sure your tree care is set and ready to go for the winter. Here are a few things to consider:

Planting/Transplanting — The fall is a great time for planting and transplanting any trees. If you have a tree that needs to be moved from one Nashville location to another, the Parke Company can accomplish this tree service for you. Just make sure to call them soon to schedule an appointment.

Spraying and Brush Removal — This tree service is important to complete before the tree goes dormant. Most chemical treatments require the tree to be in growing season, not asleep for the winter. Spraying your trees not only wards off any unwanted species during the year but also keeps the tree healthy during the winter. If you have a lot of brush to remove, this would be a good opportunity to bundle the services and get your property clean and ready for the cold months.

Health care checkups — Just like chemical treatments, completing health care assessments are necessary while the leaves are still on the trees. Not only can the Parke Company tell visually what is going on, but it allows the Parke Company to evaluate the tree during its peak months.

Prepping your trees for the colder months can be as simple as calling Parke to schedule a consultation. Your trees are an important part of your landscape, so it’s important to take care of them. Whether you need a tree transplanted or a simple health care checkup, the team at Parke can assist you.

It’s safe to assume that one of the best parts about Christmas is decorating the Christmas tree, right? Perhaps you’ve got a beautiful Norway Spruce, a Douglas Fir you decorate every year, or maybe you’re using an artificial tree from last year. Whatever kind of tree, it’s one of the most prominent symbols of the holiday, which is why the Parke Company offers living Christmas trees to their Middle Tennessee clients. Not only is this a great way to repurpose trees, but it’s also a great way to remember Christmas memories.

A “living” Christmas tree is a great idea for those who want to experience Christmas cheer all year long. Simply call the Parke Company and they’ll set up your live tree at your house, either inside or outside to enjoy during the Christmas season. Once the holidays are over, Parke will come back out and plant the living tree in your lawn that will permanently become part of your landscape.

Though it takes a bit of planning, it’s a great way for your family, especially children, to learn the importance of nature. While your tree grows in your landscape for decades to come, the tree will provide much more than a Christmas memory for you and your family. It provides beauty in your landscape, tree education and resources for wild animals! Want more Christmas and nature education?

How to Save Time and Money with the Parke Company

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

A lot of customers ask the Parke Company how they can save time and money when it comes to their tree service in Nashville. Well, this tends to be a loaded question. While we understand the importance of a tight budget and minimizing the initial cost of tree care, sometimes that’s not always the answer. Savings can be made by completing a full, comprehensive service at once, instead of a little at a time. This will not only save you money in the long run, but it will also save the time and hassle of having to deal with fallen trees or other tree service mishaps.

Reduces the Need for Multiple Visits

It’s easy to understand why breaking up tree service visits into multiple ones might seem friendlier to the budget, however, it’s more expensive in the long run. Bundling your tree care creates a great price break for your wallet. Not only that, but it also cuts down on how many times the Parke Company arborist comes knocking on your door. Less hassle and more money. What more could you ask for?

Cuts Down on Fuel Costs

Just like cutting down on multiple visits, taking advantage of a comprehensive tree service visit will also reduce fuel costs (which contributes to the overall cost). If you live in the Middle Tennessee or Nashville area, you know that gas prices are constantly fluctuating. If you decide to break your visits down into multiple tree services, this would end up costing you more fuel money in the long run.

Increases Preventative Measures for Future Issues

Tending to all of your trees at once, you are less likely to come across any issues or emergencies in between tree services. With a complete approach, the Parke Company’s arborist is checking all of the trees to make sure they are in tip-top shape for months to come.

While completing comprehensive tree care service might seem like more money on the front end, you are actually saving money, both in visits and in emergency services. Keeping cost down not only minimizes stress for you, the customer, but it also prevents future issues that come along. Want more information on tree care in the Nashville or Middle Tennessee area?
