Healthy trees don’t happen by chance. Like any other valuable part of your landscape, trees benefit from consistent care throughout the year. At Ballard’s Tree Service, we can help you create a year-round tree maintenance plan that helps you improve tree healthy, reduce safety hazards, and protect your property’s beauty and value.
In the spring, inspect your trees for signs of winter damage. Look for broken branches, cracks, or disease symptoms. Spring is also a great time to apply mulch around the base of your trees to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. If your trees need additional nutrients, fertilization may also be beneficial.
During the summer, focus on proper watering. Extended periods of heat and drought can stress your trees, especially younger ones. Deep watering encourages strong root development and can help your trees withstand hot weather. It’s also important to watch for insects and diseases that are more active during the growing season.
As fall arrives, schedule pruning with us to remove dead, damaged, or weak branches. This tree maintenance service can improve tree structure and reduce the risk of limbs breaking during winter storms. Fall is also an excellent time to have us inspect your trees for potential issues.
In the winter, your trees will enter dormancy, making it an ideal time for more extensive pruning and maintenance. Without leaves, we can more easily assess branch structure and remove problematic limbs.
