Ahhhh, fall! The autumn season means cooler weather, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and backyard barbeques. The change in seasons from summer to fall affects your trees, as well as the other elements of your outdoor landscape. Before winter arrives, you want to make sure your trees are ready. That’s why our ISA-Certified arborists in Kingsport at Promier Tree suggest five tree care services you should consider this fall.
Service 1) Tree Evaluation
Just like you go to the doctor for a physical, a tree evaluation serves as a way for your trees to go through a health check-up. At Promier Tree, each of our tree evaluations is performed by one of our arborists, an experienced professional who is familiar with all types of trees in the areas of Kingsport, Bristol, and Johnson City, Tennessee. This evaluation will identify any possible problems and the care needed to remedy them.
Service 2) Soil Care
You probably know that fall is considered the optimum time of the year to aerate, overseed, and fertilize your lawn. You may not know that trees also can benefit from some fall fertilization. Soil quality is key to keeping your trees their healthiest. Adding a slow-release fertilizer can make a big difference.
Service 3) Pruning and Trimming
Tree pruning is a meticulous and potentially dangerous endeavor. Trim back your trees too much, and it can compromise their health. Trim them incorrectly, and branches could fall, injuring people or damage property. Pruning branches that are dead, damaged, or vulnerable will ensure optimum growth once the dormant season ends. Fall is the best time to prune trees because the absence of the leaf canopy makes it easier to evaluate the branch structure.
Service 4) Seasonal Protection
Snow and ice can devastate and damage your trees each winter, especially if they are not prepared. You can protect your trees against the threats of weather, insects, and disease by having a professional tree care service apply special treatments or nutrients. At Promier Tree, these treatments will be determined and administered by one of our arborists, each of which is certified with the International Society of Arboriculture.
Service 5) Planting
Spring typically is the season of choice to plant new trees but don’t overlook the appeal of planting young trees in early fall. By planting in the fall, young trees are able to establish their roots without worrying about the risks of high temperature, sun scorch, and drought. Of course, Promier Tree can handle all the planting for you, along with any of your other tree care needs.
