Tree Care

Caring for a tree, whether it is young or mature, is imperative. During the first 1 - 8 years of your tree's life, you can take easy steps to help your tree grow strong and healthy.

Mulch your trees. Wood chip mulch will save water, discourage weeds, and help your tree grow faster.
Water your trees with a thorough soak. Whether your trees are young or old, they need water where the roots are - about 16-18 inches below ground.
Prune your trees for good structure. A few good pruning cuts when a tree is young will reduce maintenance costs and keep limbs strong and safe.

Learn more about caring for your trees through every season and sign up to receive quarterly seasonal tree tips via email.
