The spring is the time of year that most people are excited to welcome in. The warm weather is a welcome from the cold of the winter. When the weather changes the warmth will allow more people to come out of the house, bugs and insects will emerge and of course growth will start. The plants, trees, flowers and more will have the atmosphere that is needed to do what they can. Even the slightest change in the warmth is enough to start seeing small buds and leafs emerge from the branches of the trees and other plants. The growth is important to sustain the life of the trees but you need to be prepared to take care of them so that they can reach their full potential. There are ways that you can care for your trees so that they stay healthy and give you the beauty and the shade that they are intended to give. TREEGUY.com outlines what you can do to get the most out of new tree growth.

Tree Inspection & Risk Assessment

The first thing that you need to do to ensure that your trees will be able to flourish and grow through the spring is to have them inspected. The inspection is a key part to the health of the tree. Unless you know what you are looking for you could easily overlook signs of disease or damage that the tree is suffering from. If you skip over these things you could end up with a tree that is no longer growing but can be dying off instead. A professional can come out to your house and look over the trees and talk about any areas of concern. This can be signs of disease but it can be damaged branches that may need to be removed.

Planting Trees in Spring

The spring is a great time of year to add any new trees to your home and your landscape.
