BLOG Seasonal Tree Care: Preparing Your Trees for Winter with Dig-It Tree Company Jun 27, 2024

With winter just around the corner, it is essential to start preparing your trees for the colder months ahead. As the leaves start to fall and the temperatures begin to drop, your trees will need a little extra care to ensure they stay healthy and strong throughout the winter season. At Dig-It Tree Company, we understand the importance of seasonal tree care and are here to help you get your trees ready for winter. Here are some tips on how to prepare your trees for the upcoming season with Dig-It Tree Company.

1. Tree Inspection: The first step in preparing your trees for winter is to conduct a thorough inspection of each tree on your property. Look for any signs of disease, pest infestations, or structural issues that could weaken the tree during the colder months. Our team of certified arborists at Dig-It Tree Company can help identify any potential problems and provide recommendations for treatment or removal if necessary.

2. Pruning: Proper pruning is essential for tree health and growth, especially before winter sets in. By removing dead or diseased branches, you can help prevent the spread of disease and improve air circulation within the tree. Our skilled tree care specialists at Dig-It Tree Company can assess the pruning needs of your trees and ensure they are properly pruned to promote healthy growth.

3. Mulching: Adding a layer of mulch around the base of your trees can help protect the roots from extreme temperatures and provide valuable nutrients as it decomposes. Mulch also helps retain moisture in the soil, which is critical for tree health during the winter months. Our team at Dig-It Tree Company can provide mulching services to help insulate your trees and promote strong root systems.

4. Winter Watering: Many people forget to water their trees during the winter months, assuming that the snow and rain will provide enough moisture. However, trees still need water, especially during periods of drought or when the ground is frozen. Our experts at Dig-It Tree Company can assess the watering needs of your trees and provide recommendations for proper irrigation during the winter season.

5. Protection from Wildlife: In the winter, hungry wildlife may turn to your trees for food, causing damage to the bark and branches. Installing tree wraps or other protective measures can help deter wildlife and prevent injuries to your trees. Dig-It Tree Company offers a range of tree protection services to keep your trees safe from wildlife damage.
