The Dedham Home: Spring Tree & Shrub Care Tips

After a long, hard winter, it’s wonderful to see spring return to Dedham. Part of the fun of the season is getting out into the yard and enjoying the landscape. You want to be sure that your yard is picture perfect. That means taking the time to give your trees and shrubs a little extra TLC.

Step One: Give Your Trees and Shrubs a Visual Inspection

Walk around your yard and take a look at your trees and shrubs. How have they fared? Sometimes winter storms, with their heavy snows and strong winds, cause damage. Take note of any broken branches, snapped trunks, or other damage to your trees and shrubs.

Our tree and shrub care team has expert-level knowledge on plant health. We’ll be able to tell you with confidence if your damaged trees and shrubs can be repaired, or if they need to be replaced. We also inspect trees and shrubs for disease, fungus, insects and more. If any of these problems are found, we’ll help you remedy them.

Spring Fertilization for Trees

Trees and shrubs need nutritional support throughout the year to look their best. That being said, spring is definitely the right time to make sure your trees and shrubs are properly fertilized. As a Dedham lawn care company with more than 50 years’ experience, we’ve found that a customized fertilization plan that includes all of the appropriate micronutrients is the best way to keep your trees and shrubs healthy and strong.

Protect Your Trees from Disease and Insect Damage

There’s nothing more frustrating than investing your money in some beautiful trees and shrubs just to have them get wiped out by a disease or a swarm of hungry insects. As part of our Tree and Shrub Care Maintainer program, we regularly inspect your trees for any signs of disease or insect activity. Early treatment is the key!
