Blog Seasonal Tree Care Strategies for a Healthy, Vibrant Yard Year-Round Apr 01, 2024

Golden Landscape & Tree Care understands the importance of maintaining healthy and vibrant trees in your yard throughout the year. With the right seasonal tree care strategies, you can ensure that your trees not only survive but thrive in all weather conditions. Here are some tips to keep your yard looking its best year-round.

Spring

As the weather warms up and trees start to bud, it’s time to focus on promoting healthy growth. Prune dead or damaged branches to encourage new growth and remove any potential hazards. Consider adding a layer of mulch around the base of your trees to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth. Spring is also a good time to fertilize your trees to provide them with the nutrients they need to flourish.

Summer

During the hot summer months, it’s important to keep your trees well-hydrated. Make sure to water them deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells. Inspect your trees for signs of pests or disease, and take action if necessary. Consider applying a layer of organic mulch to help retain moisture and keep your trees cool. Pruning is best done early in the summer to avoid stressing your trees during the heat.

Fall

As the leaves begin to change color and fall, it’s time to prepare your trees for the coming winter. Continue to water your trees as needed, especially if there is a lack of rainfall. Remove fallen leaves and debris from around the base of your trees to prevent mold and fungus growth. Consider applying a slow-release fertilizer to help your trees prepare for the winter months.

Winter

While most trees are dormant during the winter, it’s still important to keep an eye on their condition. Remove any heavy snow loads from branches to prevent breakage. Consider wrapping the trunks of young trees with burlap or tree wrap to protect them from frost damage. Avoid pruning during the winter months, as it can leave your trees vulnerable to disease.
