A Seasonal Tree Care Guide for Hammond, IN


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.
Stump Removal and Mulching Services




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 Hammond, IN.
  • 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 Hammond, IN 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.

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 Hammond, IN 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 Hammond, IN property, which our arborists are happy to help with.
