A Seasonal Tree Care Guide for Winthrop Harbor, IL


Properly timed tree care can make a huge difference in the health and longevity of your trees. Here are some season-by-season tips from the arborists at J & L Tree Service.





Winter (Dormant Season)


  • Best time for Pruning: With leaves gone, the tree's structure is clearly visible, making it the ideal time for structural pruning and removing dead or crossing branches. Pruning during dormancy also minimizes stress on the tree.
  • Inspection: It's a great time for a professional arborist to inspect your trees for structural issues that might be hidden by foliage in other seasons.
  • Action: Schedule a professional tree trimming service with J & L Tree Service.

Spring


  • Planting: Early spring is an excellent time to plant new trees, giving them a full growing season to establish their roots before the stress of summer heat in Winthrop Harbor, IL.
  • Mulching: Apply a fresh layer of mulch around the base of your trees (without touching the trunk) to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Wait to Prune Flowering Trees: For trees that bloom in the spring, wait to prune them until after they have finished flowering.
  • Action: Contact J & L for professional tree planting services.




Summer


  • Watering: Ensure young and newly planted trees receive adequate water during dry spells, which are common in Winthrop Harbor, IL summers.
  • Monitor for Pests & Disease: Be on the lookout for signs of insect infestations or diseases.
  • Hazardous Limb Removal: While heavy pruning is best avoided, it's important to have any dead, cracked, or hazardous limbs removed, as summer storms can bring them down.
  • Action: Call J & L for a tree health assessment or for emergency tree service after a storm.
Seasonal Tree Pruning and Cleanup




Fall


  • Cleanup: Rake up and remove fallen leaves to prevent them from smothering your lawn.
  • Pruning Young Trees: Fall is another good time for structural pruning on young trees to guide their growth.
  • Inspection: Before winter, it's wise to inspect trees for any weak branches that could become a hazard under the weight of snow or ice.
  • Action: Schedule a fall cleanup or a final pruning for your Winthrop Harbor, IL property.By following a seasonal care schedule, you can keep your Winthrop Harbor, IL landscape healthy, safe, and beautiful year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • Why is winter the best time for tree trimming? The tree is dormant, which reduces stress, and the lack of leaves allows our arborists to see the entire branch structure for more precise cuts.
  • How much should I water a new tree in the summer? A general rule is to provide about 10 gallons of water per week for every inch of the tree's trunk diameter, but this varies by soil and Winthrop Harbor, IL weather.
  • Do you offer stump grinding? Yes, we can perform stump grinding at any time of year after a tree has been removed.
  • What's the first step to planting a new tree? The first step is a consultation to choose the right tree for the right spot on your Winthrop Harbor, IL property, which our arborists are happy to help with.
