3 Essential Steps to Seasonal Tree Care

March 7, 2024September 9, 2014 by The Parke Company

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.

If you are looking for a professional tree service or lawn services, you should contact The Parke Company. We specialize in tree service and landscape projects for residential and commercial projects. Whether you live in Green Hills, Forest Hills, Oak Hill or any other suburb in the Nashville area, we can provide a free estimate for your desired project. Contact us today so that we can provide you with proper tree care.

Many customers ask the Parke Company ways they can get more bang for their buck when taking care of landscape and trees. But the answer is very easy! Not only will the Parke Company work within your budget for all of your lawn maintenance and tree care needs, but they also recommend purchasing larger packages to save money in the long run. If customers are willing to spend a bit more on the front end, the services will reward you later.

Four Reasons Why You Should Book For Larger Projects:

Work with your budget — Many customers choose to do several, smaller projects over a course of time. While this might save money at first, it ends up costing more in the end. The Parke Company understands that customers need to stay within a budget. The team is always willing to work with a client to make sure they receive the best tree care or lawn maintenance service within their price range.

Payments are easy — Especially as the new school season approaches, the Parke Company understands that you may not have the cash to pay for larger projects, however rest assured they have you covered. Customers can set up credit card payments online or an auto payment plan through the office. Have the money to pay it all at once? The Parke Company offers discounts for the overall cost if the customer can pay up front.

Save money by not overlapping services — Doing smaller projects over a longer course of time might seem appealing if you’re trying to save a dollar or two. However clients end up spending more because they end up overlapping services. This is such an easy problem to avoid if you can afford to complete all your projects at once.

Fewer visits — Though the Parke Company loves spending time with their clients, whether you are in the Belle Meade or Oak Hill area, we know you want to get back to enjoying your trees and landscape. Booking all your jobs at once will not only ensure all of your projects are completed sooner, but they also require fewer visits.
