A Seasonal Tree Care Guide for Steelton, PA


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.
Seasonal Tree Pruning and Cleanup




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 Steelton, PA.
  • 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 Steelton, PA 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 Steelton, PA property.By following a seasonal care schedule, you can keep your Steelton, PA 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 Steelton, PA 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 Steelton, PA property, which our arborists are happy to help with.

Steelton, PA Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

After initial habitation by Susquehannock Indians and subsequent nearby Harrisburg establishment, the area was owned by the Kelker family of Harrisburg by the 1800s. The 100-acre area was chosen in 1866 by Samuel Morse Felton Sr., president of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, to begin construction of a steel mill. This particular site was favored because of the location's proximity to the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Pennsylvania Canal, and the nearby iron mine in Cornwall, Lebanon County. The land was purchased from owners Henry A. and Rudolph F. Kelker; then, steel pioneer Alexander Lyman Holley was chosen to build the mill along the Susquehanna River, which was completed by 1867 (along with a mansion for Felton), and began operation on May 15, 1868. Originally named "Baldwin" after Matthias W. Baldwin, founder of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, by 1871 it had changed to "Steel Works" after the existence of another Baldwin, Pennsylvania Post Office, and finally "Steelton" in 1879 after confusion of the Post Office with the steel mill itself. It was incorporated as a borough on January 19, 1880. The extensive steel works of the Pennsylvania Steel Company later became operated by Bethlehem Steel, ArcelorMittal, and currently Cleveland-Cliffs. Also present at one time were brickyards, a flouring mill, and machine shops.
