Late frost, heavy snow and dry soil
A warm week can give way to frost or wet snow in Denver. Trees emerging from dormancy also face dry spells. We check for winter damage and help you plan care around the weather and the tree.
Start with the cause
A struggling tree may have a soil, water, pest or structural problem. An inspection helps identify the cause before you spend money on treatment.
What we check after winter
Branches and buds
We look for snow and wind damage and signs of growth as trees emerge from dormancy.
Soil and roots
We assess watering and soil conditions before recommending fertilizer or other root care.
The site
Exposure to sun, wind and late frosts affects what each tree needs. The care plan starts with those conditions.
Soil and watering
Soil conditions
Compacted clay and alkaline soil can affect drainage and nutrient availability. Our arborists assess whether amendments or aeration would help.
Watering
After a dry winter, check moisture around the roots. We can advise on deep-root watering for your trees and site.
Mulch
Mulch helps retain moisture, moderate soil temperature and suppress weeds. As it breaks down, it adds organic matter to the soil.
Pruning after winter damage
We check for dead, damaged and diseased branches, then recommend which to remove. Timing depends on the species and the work needed.
Spring pruning can address winter damage. Other structural work may be better scheduled during dormancy. An arborist can help you decide.
Fertilize where needed
Fertilizer should address a need. We assess the tree and soil before recommending an application.
Deep-root fertilization delivers nutrients to the root zone. We plan treatment around the species and conditions on your property.
Watch for pests and disease
Regular inspections can catch insects and disease before damage spreads. Our Certified Arborists look for symptoms and recommend treatment or monitoring based on what they find.
Assess struggling or damaged trees
Soil and root care
We assess whether soil treatments or injections could help a struggling tree.
Cabling and bracing
Some trees may benefit from added structural support. An arborist must assess whether cabling or bracing is suitable.
Hazard inspections
We look for defects and consider what could be hit if a branch or tree fails, then explain the options.
Work with a Certified Arborist
Our ISA Certified Arborists assess tree health, structure and growing conditions. They explain what they find and recommend pruning, fertilization, pest management or other work as needed.
