Spring Clean Up

Spring Clean Up
Springtime is almost upon us here in Southern Indiana and that means it's time to get our yards cleaned up for the warmer weather.   Hopefully you did a fall cleanup and if you did, the spring maintenance will be much easier.

A lot of people don't realize that one of the most important things you can do for your trees is to ensure that there are not leaves from the fall covering the ground which will keep your tree roots from getting the moisture they need to ensure a healthy tree.   We recommend raking all of the leaves away from the tree base and extend out to the entire distance of the tree roots.    This will help the rain water get to the roots, which is vital to that tree's health.   With that being said, having mulch around the tree base will not harm your tree.   

It's also important to remove any weeds or debris that may be sitting at the base of the tree.  During the spring, you should also be looking for any dead wood or other signs of disease which can harm your tree.  Another important thing to do in the springtime for your trees are to prune them.   Keeping a tree trimmed up nicely (when done correctly), will help your tree stay healthy.   Feel free to call us here at Tree Trimming Evansville and we will come out to your home or business and inspect your trees to ensure they are not showing any signs of disease.   If they are, we will show you our findings and give you our recommendation.

Ideally, a good tree trimming will suffice but in the worst of worst situations, the tree may need to be removed.   If that's the case, you can then decide whether we should remove your tree or leave it as is.   We always hate to see trees being removed but there are times when that is the best and only choice.    As noted earlier though, if you take care of your trees from the time they were planted, they will remain healthy and live for hundreds of years, in some cases.

Spring time is also a great time to fertilize your trees.   A good fertilization will give your tree the nutrients it needs to remain strong and healthy.  If you do fertilize your trees, we highly recommend using a slow release fertilizer which will help your tree resist damage created from stressful weather, insects and diseases.
