Learn MoreNot every tree is going to thrive in the Atlanta area. Choose your tree with your local climate and property in mind. For example, if your property is small, then you do not want to plant a live oak which can grow up to 80 feet tall.
This tip goes hand-in-hand with the previous tip. If you have power lines near your property, then you want to make sure your trees are a safe distance away. Plant accordingly. If already planted, then stay on top of trimming.
Speaking of trimming, you should not forget to prune your trees. Removing damaged, diseased, dying, and harmful limbs will improve the health of your tree and give it an attractive shape.
We recommend you do your research on the common threats to your tree. For instance, pine beetles attack pine trees and emerald ash borers are a serious threat to ash species. Understanding these threats and their symptoms is the first step in keeping your tree safe from them.
The Don’ts of Tree Care
Knowing what NOT to do is just as important as knowing what TO do. Here are some things to shy away from:
Trees need a healthy amount of space to grow and stretch out their roots. If you want to plant multiple trees, then make sure they are planted a healthy distance apart.
Too much of anything is a bad thing, and this applies to tree trimming as well. Removing too many branches or trimming them too often will hinder the tree’s development.
A DIY tree removal is an incredibly risky project. Countless property owners are injured every year by accidents involving chainsaws, ladders, and other tree removal equipment.
