The right size tree
Not all trees will work well in every landscape. Some require proper siting to ensure they can spread out, while others may need more sun or water. With the number of microclimates in Colorado Springs it’s important to choose trees for your landscape that will thrive.
Freeze Damage
Extreme weather in Colorado Springs can appear in the form of heat waves in the dead of winter, high wind storms or even bomb cyclones. It’s not always easy to take preventative measures to mitigate tree damage, but there are a few things you should keep in mind when we get these weird weather spells.
Storm Damage
On the occasion that we get heavy, wet snow and extreme storms here in the Springs, your trees may end up being susceptible to breakage and die-back. Learn to recognize signs that your tree is struggling and ways that you might be able to reduce potential damage.
Fall Tree Care
There are a few household chores to take care of come fall. One of them is paying some attention to your trees. Are they getting enough moisture? Have you fertilized them? Pruned them? We have some fall best practices to follow to help keep your trees healthy through the winter.
Tree Pruning
There are a variety of elements that go into tree pruning. You want to get the dead and broken branches out of there to promote the health and vigor of your trees. Winter is generally the best time to prune your trees, as they are dormant during this time.
What's Wrong?
Unlike our kids, friends or relatives, trees cannot speak to us and tell us what’s wrong. It could be overwatering, disease, a bug infestation or something completely different. There are some signs however that can indicate what might be going on so you can start finding a solution.
