In order for your trees and shrubs to stay healthy and gorgeous, they need regular maintenance and upkeep. Some trees even require constant care to keep them safe from diseases, pests, or other natural or artificial threats. Your trees and shrubs are the crowning jewels of your yard, adding beauty and utility to your property, increasing your home’s value, and offering different ways for you to relax and enjoy the yard you have during any season of the year. You want to care for them so they will continue adding these things to your home for you. Springtime is one time of the year that trees should be evaluated and maintained. 

During the spring, life is coming back into the world. Flowers bloom, grass gains its emerald hues back, and trees and shrubs begin to leaf out again in preparation for the summer. But spring also brings a new round of pests and other threats that can inhabit, infest, and damage your trees and shrubs. In the spring time, it is a good idea to have the trees and shrubs on your property professionally examined so that any problem or issue that threatens the health and longevity of your trees can be diagnosed and properly treated.

Your trees and shrubs may need to be sprayed for pests and diseases up to three times in the spring. This way you can catch the pests right after the dormant season, making it more likely that you have eradicated them for good. It’s also a good idea to have your trees and shrubs fertilized in the spring. A professional tree service in Boise can evaluate the need for spraying and fertilizing for you. This way you can be sure you are using the right products in the right amounts. This takes the guesswork of caring for your trees out of the equation, improving the chances that your trees and scrubs will stay healthy and full. 

Spring is also a great time to have your trees trimmed and pruned. This will clean up their look in preparation for the summer, when the leaves will be full. Trimming your trees ensures that they are not interfering with any powerlines or the structures on your property. You don’t want branches to fall or sag and damage your house or shed. This is a costly problem that can be avoided by having your trees evaluated and taken care of in time. 

Your trees and shrubs add value to your home and property in a variety of ways. They add beauty, which is invaluable, and utility, which is practical. You want to care for them as best you can to keep them healthy, growing, and free of diseases and pests. Caring for your trees also helps the environment.
