The Best Tree Services for Early Spring

If there’s one thing that keeps us going through the cold winter months it’s that better weather is coming. As we approach spring, the promise of warmth, sunshine and new growth lingers in the air.

This means that it’s the perfect time to prepare your lawn for the start of spring and the summer months to come. The winter months can be harsh on your vegetation – whether it’s your lawn, shrubbery, or the strength of the trees in your yard. You want to make sure that they’re ready for the spring flourish that’s to come with the best tree services.

Here are the early spring tree services you should prioritize:

Tree Pruning

As the end of winter approaches and spring nears, this is the ideal time to look at tree pruning. While different types of trees have different growth cycles, it’s generally a good idea to hire a professional tree company to assess the extent of pruning your trees need.

Most trees do best when they’re pruned in the early spring, around the months of February and March. This gives the tree enough time to heal from inflicted cuts during the pruning process. It also allows for a healthy flourish of growth and keeps pests and diseases at bay as the warm weather approaches.

If you have fruit trees in your yard, consider hiring tree services in the late winter. If you have deciduous trees, it’s best to prune them in the early spring during the months of February-April.

Stump Grinding

If you’ve recently had a tree or two cut down during the winter months, or before the cold weather set in, you’re likely left behind with pesky old stumps in your yard. These stumps are a major inconvenience as the spring weather approaches and you need to begin mowing your lawn more regularly.

Leaving old stumps in your yard creates an unnecessary obstacle — you’ll have to weed whack around it! Instead, opt for an early spring stump grinding service that removes this obstacle for you. You can then replant grass seed in its place for a green, flourishing lawn.

Tree Cabling

By the end of winter/early spring, most of the trees in your yard are still quite bare as the leaves have yet to flush out. This is the perfect time to scope out the integrity of the branching structure of these trees.

It gives you the opportunity to identify weak branch unions and call in for tree cabling services where necessary. This is important as it adds extra support to these branches during the growing season.

Tree Removal

While the full removal of a tree is often a last resort, certain tree diseases can pose a real threat to the rest of your yard. It’s better to risk losing one tree, than them all.

The best time of year to hire a tree removal service is as soon as possible. And at the start of spring, you might want to hire a professional arborist to assess the state of a tree that needs attention. With their expertise, they’ll be able to identify what’s wrong with your tree and whether complete removal is necessary.
