TREE CARE
Caring For Your Trees
Your landscape is an important
asset. It increases the value of
your property, produces oxygen,
provides shade in the summer and
blocks cold winds in the winter.
But urban and suburban trees,
because they share our living
space have special needs that you
can help fill.
Plant the Right Tree
Don't plant a problem! Take a
careful look at the planting site
and consider what you want to
accomplish. Find out the
characteristics of the tree you
want to plant and make sure it
fits. We will be glad to help you
with plant selection or ask your
nurseryman.
Plant Properly
Follow the planting instructions
provided by the seller or have a
professional do the planting for
you. We will be glad to provide
this service.
Mulch
Apply mulch 3 to 4" thick around
the base of the trunk. Don't pile
the mulch against the tree
though! Extend the mulch out to
the extent of the trees canopy
(the umberella of leaves) if
possible. This is especially
important on younger trees and
recently planted trees.
Watering
It is good to water a tree. It is
not necessary to drown it. Find
out the proper amount of water
for each species and don't forget
to consider actual rainfall and the
sprinkler you use on your lawn.
Again, we can help you with this
information, or may obtain it at a
nursery.
Mowing and Weed Trimming
Trees don't like collisions with
lawn mowers or being whipped by
the cutting cord of your weed
trimmer. Mulching solves this
problem. However if mulch is not
an option, we recommend
trimming against the tree trunk
with shears to prevent injury.
Monitor your Landscape
At least once a season, take a
good long look at your landscape:
Has anything changed? Do you
see branches hanging lower from
trees or drying plants? Seasonal
monitoring may reveal problems
that can be easily corrected if
spotted early!
