As the vibrant hues of spring appear, property owners need to prepare their trees for the season ahead. Proper maintenance by a reputable tree care company enhances health and beauty, ensuring trees thrive and flourish throughout the spring and beyond. At Sesmas Tree Service, we leverage extensive expertise and knowledge to help you prepare your trees for spring splendor.

The Ultimate Guide to Preparing Your Trees for Spring Splendor 

Inspection and Pruning

The first step is to inspect your trees for signs of damage, disease, or dead branches. Our arborists can recommend tree pruning as part of the maintenance plan to promote healthy growth, improve structural integrity, and enhance aesthetics. If you prefer a hands-off approach, use proper tools and proven tree pruning techniques to remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches.

Mulching

Applying a 3 to 4-inch layer of mulch around the base of your trees helps hold moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth. Consult professional tree service providers to choose suitable mulching material, such as organic wood chips, shredded bark, or compost. Avoid piling mulch against the trunk, as this can promote moisture buildup and encourage rot, resulting in premature tree removal emergencies. Arborists and other industry experts recommend a depth of 2-4 inches of mulch, which should be replenished throughout the growing season.

Fertilization

Spring is ideal for providing trees with essential nutrients through fertilization. Hire a tree care company to conduct a soil test to determine nutrient deficiencies and select a balanced fertilizer formulation suitable for your tree species. DIYers should follow the manufacturer’s instructions during application to avoid over-fertilization, which can harm the tree roots. Proper fertilization promotes vigorous growth, improves resistance to pests and diseases, and enhances overall tree health.

Watering

Ensure your trees receive adequate water during spring, especially during drought or prolonged dry spells. Deep watering is preferable to frequent shallow watering, as it encourages the development of deep and robust root systems. Water newly planted trees regularly to help establish their root systems and monitor soil moisture levels to prevent overwatering or underwatering. Schedule routine inspections with a tree service expert to adjust watering frequency based on weather and soil moisture levels to maintain optimal tree hydration.

Pest and Disease Management

Address signs of pest infestations or disease symptoms quickly, as early detection is vital to effective management. If you notice unusual discoloration, pest damage, or lesions on leaves, branches, and trunk, call a professional to address the problem before spring. As necessary, we can implement integrated pest management practices to control pests and diseases, including cultural, biological, and chemical control methods. In addition, tree trimming eliminates infected or infested plant parts to prevent further deterioration.

Preparing your trees for spring requires careful planning, attention to detail, and proactive maintenance practices. By following these helpful tips, you can ensure your trees are ready to greet the season with vitality and splendor. Contact us at Sesmas Tree Service and schedule a consultation with our arborists. We provide exceptional services, including tree trimming and pruning to nurture thriving and durable trees.

Customer Reviews

3 large Leyland Cypress trees removed near front of our home. Excellent service, professional crew, very competitive pricing for superior work! Rolando provided the initial estimate and the  follow up and was the best in terms of customer relations. I'd both use this company again AND highly recommend them.

Susan Hitchcock

This is the 2nd time we have used Sesmas Tree Service. They are a wonderful company to deal with. They were on time, professional, and very thorough. They cleaned up prior to leaving and went out of their way to protect our plants and landscaping. And they kept to their proposal with no hidden cost or add ons. Definitely a five star experience!

Gene McFadden

Wow!  I deal with tree services in my professional work and I can honestly say Sesmas is by far the most professional, best equipped, efficient, safety conscious, and communicative service I've ever encountered.  Their price was very reasonable and they even went so far as to include additional work without increasing the price.  Call them!  Now! They are very quick to respond.

Scott McLendon

We've used Sesmas several times and have always received excellent service.  Estimates are quick and easy and the crew is efficient and leaves the property clean of debris.  Recently we needed a tree removed next to a heavily landscaped area.  Sebastian went over everything with me in detail and listened to my concerns.  The crew did an excellent job in removing the tree with minimal disturbance to the surrounding area.  We are pleased and will consider them again in the future for pruning and tree removal.

Tonia Griswold

Sesmas Tree Service was amazing! I had two dead trees cut and a lot of trees that were already down on my property removed. Sebastian came out and sent the quote in writing within 24 hours. We were in the process of scheduling the service when a slot opened up sooner snd I was able to go ahead and get the work done. Everything was explained ahead of time for what to expect. The crew was very efficient and professional.  All of the work and cleanup was done in one day. I would recommend Sesmas for your tree cutting/cleanup needs.

LaDora Woods

I hired Sesmas to cut down a very tricky tree that was hanging over my house as well as a few large limbs. They did a great job and had the machinery to get the job done right.

Perry Hartman

Great experience with Sesmas. They were meticulous with my tree removal, safe and efficient. David’s communication throughout the process was much appreciated. Highly recommend!

Lindsay Ellenburg

Great experience with Sesmas Tree Service. The arborist who came out was a Board Certified Master Arborist, and you could immediately tell he knew his stuff. He took the time to explain what needed to be done, gave us clear options, and helped us feel confident from start to finish. The whole process was easy and professional. We’ll definitely use them again.
