During the harsh winter months, many homeowners believe their trees and landscaping require little to no attention. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. At 603 Yard & Tree Service, we understand that proper winter tree care is crucial for maintaining healthy, vibrant landscapes throughout the year.

Essential Winter Tree Care Practices

1. Protective Mulching
– Apply 2-4 inches of mulch around tree bases
– Keep mulch away from direct contact with tree trunks
– Use organic materials like wood chips or bark

2. Winter Pruning
– Remove dead or damaged branches
– Shape trees while they’re dormant
– Prevent winter storm damage

Winter presents unique challenges for your landscape. Heavy snow and ice can cause significant damage to branches, while frost heaving can affect root systems. Professional winter maintenance helps protect your investment and ensures your trees emerge strong and healthy in spring.

Professional Care Makes a Difference

While some winter maintenance tasks can be handled by homeowners, professional service ensures:
– Proper pruning techniques
– Expert assessment of tree health
– Prevention of winter-related damages
– Early detection of potential problems
