Tree Service5 Vital Spring Tree Care Tips for Quad Cities Homeowners
Midwest winters take a heavy toll on local trees. Ice, heavy snow, and freezing winds cause hidden structural stress. Taking these five steps every spring ensures your property stays safe and vibrant all summer.
- Inspect for Winter Damage: Check trunks for deep cracks and limbs for split wood.
- Prune Deadwood Immediately: Remove broken branches before summer storms catch them.
- Mulch for Moisture: Apply a three-inch ring of mulch around bases to conserve water.
- Keep Mulch Off Trunks: Leave space around the bark to prevent fungal rot.
- Schedule Professional Assessments: Have an arborist check mature trees for hidden internal decay.
