Trees don’t need as much water or fertilizer as you might think. In fact, overwatering and over-fertilizing can do more harm than good. When you overwater, the roots of your tree can actually start to rot, which can kill your tree. And when you over-fertilize, the excess nutrients can actually burn your tree’s roots, causing damage.
Just like any living thing, trees can get sick. But the good news is, there are many diseases that can be prevented with proper care. Start by getting to know your trees — what kind of tree do you have? What does it need to stay healthy? Once you know that, you can take steps to prevent disease. For example, if you have a maple tree, you might want to avoid planting it in an area that doesn’t get enough sunlight, as this can lead to problems like maple wilt.

Mulching is one of the best things you can do for your trees. Mulch helps protect tree roots from extreme temperatures, keeps moisture in the soil, and prevents weeds from growing. We recommend mulching at least once a year, but depending on your climate and tree type, you might need to do it more often.
Pruning is another important part of tree care. Pruning helps remove dead or damaged branches, which can help your tree stay strong and healthy. It also helps improve the tree’s appearance and can even increase fruit production. When pruning, be sure to use sharp, clean pruning shears, and make sure you’re not removing more than one-fourth of the live branches.
Following these simple tips can help you keep your trees healthy and looking their best. And if you need any help with tree care or lawn care in general, don’t hesitate to contact Best Lawn Care for tree services today. We’re always happy to help!
