Though Raleigh doesn’t experience winters as harsh as they do up north, there are still precautions to take before the temperatures drop and adversely affect your property’s trees, especially after they’ve been put through the extreme heat of summer. To get the most life out of your trees and learn what you can do, we’ve gathered some fall maintenance tips for you to check out.
What To Look For/What You Can Do For Your Trees
- The root of most common tree issues (no pun intended) relates back to the soil. Think about it like this: you buy a certain soil for your houseplants that will help them thrive indoors by supplying them with the proper nutrients. You also make sure to water them as necessary.
The same concept applies to your trees; if the soil on your property is too acidic, lacks important nutrients, isn’t compact enough, or is too dry, then your trees will be much more susceptible to disease, pest infestation, and other risks.
Unsure if your trees are experiencing these issues? Schedule a health and risk assessment today with our team and let us put our knowledge to the test.
- Just as you maintain your hair and fingernails with regular trimmings, your trees also need their leaves and branches maintained. With our equipment and knowledge of how to properly thin branches and remove dead limbs, we can safely and efficiently perform tree pruning services to prepare your trees for winter. By allowing proper aeration between the branches, it helps ensure that no weak or unstable limbs pose a potential threat to you or your neighbor’s property.
“What Can I Do On My Own For My Trees?”
Some solid advice that we always give in the fall is to plant new trees! Autumn is one of the best times for tree planting, as fall’s moderate weather conditions allow the young trees to begin rooting well into the cooler seasons. We also recommend mulching your saplings and shrubs to maintain proper levels of moisture as temperatures begin to fluctuate.
