A Seasonal Tree Care Guide for Birmingham, MI


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 Birmingham, MI.
  • 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 Birmingham, MI 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.

  • Action: Schedule a fall cleanup or a final pruning for your Birmingham, MI property.By following a seasonal care schedule, you can keep your Birmingham, MI 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 Birmingham, MI 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 Birmingham, MI property, which our arborists are happy to help with.

Birmingham, MI Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

The area comprising what is now the city of Birmingham was part of land ceded by Native American tribes to the United States government by the 1807 Treaty of Detroit. However, settlement was delayed, first by the War of 1812. Afterward the Surveyor-General of the United States, Edward Tiffin, made an unfavorable report regarding the placement of Military Bounty Lands for veterans of the War of 1812. Tiffin's report claimed that, because of marsh, in this area "There would not be an acre out of a hundred, if there would be one out of a thousand that would, in any case, admit cultivation." In 1818, Territorial Governor Lewis Cass led a group of men along the Indian Trail. The governor's party discovered that the swamp was not as extensive as Tiffin had supposed. Not long after Cass issued a more encouraging report about the land, interest quickened as to its suitability for settlement.
