TREE CARE DURING WINTER

After a hectic summer season, winters are considered to be a nice relaxing time which has lesser work to do for tree care.  But, in reality your backyard trees need you more in winters when it is cold. Soil goes through a lot of changes in winter season and requires an extra care.

In winter, trees need a good layer of tree mulching to give them a protective sheet from falling leaves and cold weather. It is always good to place a heavy layer in the beginning of winter to protect your plants from extreme temperature changes. You should check that water drainage is working properly.  Any problem in drainage can cause waterlogging problem during snow. Falling leaves can create blockages and can stop proper draining water. Tree trimming can help in prevent your home from broken branches.

Lots of insects start moving to other safe places in the beginning of winter and they can start getting into your house or affecting house walls.  Termites have a lot of chances of spreading all over your home wooden walls during winter. A good pest control should be done to welcome winters safely and nicely.

A good gardener utilizes this time to prepare for winter crops and creating space for next planting season.  You should start aerating the yard soil to get enough moisture. You should consult with a professional arborist to prepare your lawn for winter season.  They are the true guide who can help you in maintaining your soil, trees and in making yourself winter ready.
