Summer’s Here! Keeping Your Trees Healthy & Planning for Winter
The days are long, the sun is shining, and summer is officially in full swing! While you’re enjoying the warm weather, it’s also a crucial time to think about the health of your trees and start preparing for the colder months ahead.
Tree Care Tips for a Thriving Summer
Summer can be a stressful time for trees, especially during periods of drought or intense heat. Here are a few things you can do to ensure your trees stay healthy and vibrant:
* Water, Water, Water! Even established trees can benefit from deep watering during dry spells. Slow, deep watering encourages strong root growth. Focus on watering the entire area under the tree’s canopy, not just at the base of the trunk.
* Mulch Matters: A 2-4 inch layer of organic mulch around the base of your trees helps retain soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Just remember to keep the mulch a few inches away from the tree trunk to prevent rot and pest issues.
* Pruning for Health & Safety: While major pruning is often best done in dormant seasons, summer is a good time to remove dead, diseased, or hazardous limbs. If you notice any branches that look unhealthy or are overhanging your home or power lines, give us a call at (603)490-2055.
* Keep an Eye Out for Pests & Diseases: Summer is when many tree pests and diseases are most active. Regularly inspect your trees for unusual spots on leaves, wilting, or insect activity. Early detection can prevent major problems. If you see something concerning, don’t hesitate to reach out to us for an assessment by calling (603)490-2055
Why Order Firewood Now?
It might seem early to think about firewood, but summer is actually the perfect time to order your supply for the upcoming winter. Here’s why:
* Optimal Seasoning: Firewood needs time to properly “season” or dry out. Ordering now ensures your wood will have ample time to reach the ideal moisture content for efficient burning. Well-seasoned wood burns hotter, cleaner, and produces less creosote buildup in your chimney.
* Best Selection & Availability: As winter approaches, demand for firewood skyrockets, and popular cuts can become scarce. Ordering early means you’ll have a wider selection of wood types and sizes, and you’ll be guaranteed to get what you need before the rush.
* Convenient Delivery: Schedule your delivery at a time that works best for you, without the pressure of needing it immediately when the temperatures drop.
