6 Common Mistakes You Can Make With Your Trees

10/31/2018

 
Picture
Having a new tree is the ideal way to bring value and beauty to your property. But many new tree owners have a habit of making common mistakes with their trees.

Oxygen
Putting on more mulch without getting rid of the old mulch or installing a new tree on top of an old tree’s root ball can cause a deficiency of oxygen to the roots which will deteriorate a tree’s health.

Chemicals
Harsh chemicals such as broadleaf weed killers, some fertilizers, and herbicides will destroy or kill trees. They must be used with great caution.

Mechanical Injury
Numerous trees, particularly young ones, are injured by the negligent use of weed trimmers and lawn mowers. Be sure to use caution when using lawn-care equipment around your trees. If you aren’t skilled with your lawn-care machinery, hire a York tree contractor.

Not Enough Pruning
The biggest tree-care mistake is not pruning enough. Pruning is good for just about all trees. It promotes new growth and allows air to circulate through the limbs. Also, pruning gives shape to a tree, as well as eliminating hazardous limbs.

Too Much Pruning
Another big mistake is over pruning. When topping is performed, the results can be unfortunate. If pruning is too harsh, it can cause trees to become weak and limbs to die. An unhealthy tree is an easy target for diseases and pests.

Hazardous Tree
What is a hazardous tree? It’s one that can harm individuals and damage property. Usually, it’s the one that looks like it’s dead or dying. It might also be a tree that’s hanging over your house. If you have a hazardous tree, it could fall at a moment’s notice. A strong gust of wind, storm, or saturated ground can impact a tree toppling. Our Arborists can discuss with you your options in getting this tree removed safely.

Too Much or Too Little Water
When there is a drought, trees hurt. They may survive, but without the right amount of water, they will become stressed. Not like a dry lawn, trees don’t come back to life once they die.

Tree Care in York, PA
Treat your trees with tenderness and care, and they will return the favor, giving you years of grace. For assistance contact a tree company.​​
