As the seasons change, so do the needs of your trees and green spaces. DGD Outdoor Services LLC is dedicated to ensuring your trees remain healthy and vibrant all year round. Proper seasonal tree care is crucial not just for aesthetics but for the longevity and health of your greenery. Here are some essential tree care tips to keep your outdoor spaces thriving with each seasonal shift.

Spring is a time of renewal and growth, making it an ideal season for routine inspections and care. Start with a thorough examination of your trees for any signs of disease or damage that may have occurred during the winter months. Look for broken branches and consider professional pruning to remove these hazards safely. Spring is also the perfect time to apply a slow-release fertilizer, which provides your trees with the essential nutrients they need as they awaken from their dormant state.

As temperatures rise and summer settles in, your trees will require adequate watering to combat the heat. Mulching is essential during this time as it helps retain soil moisture, moderates soil temperature, and suppresses weed growth. Ensure mulch is spread evenly around the tree’s base, but avoid piling it up against the trunk, which can invite pests and cause decay. During summer, regular inspections for pests and diseases should be maintained. Familiarize yourself with common signs of distress, such as discolored leaves or unusual patterns on the bark, and consult with our professional arborists when necessary.

Fall brings a shift in preparation as trees begin to enter their dormant phase. This is an excellent time for late-season fertilization, which will fortify trees during the winter months and provide essential nutrients when growth resumes. Raking up fallen leaves can help prevent fungal diseases and keep your lawn healthy. Additionally, fall is the best time for pruning as it minimizes stress on the tree and reduces the risk of spreading any pest infestations.

Winter can be particularly harsh on trees due to severe weather conditions. Protecting your trees during this time is essential to ensure their survival. Start by wrapping young or newly planted trees with burlap or protective materials to shield them from frost and winds. Avoid pruning in winter unless absolutely necessary, as the trees are most vulnerable during their dormant phase. It’s also important to regularly remove heavy snow from tree branches to prevent breakage.
