Many conscientious property owners pay special attention to their lawns throughout the year.  They spend time mowing, watering, seeding, and fertilizing their grass in order to provide for the best environment for healthy growth and stabilization of a strong root system.  Did you know that special attention also needs to be given to your trees and shrubs?

All too often, people tend to take the strength of landscaped trees and shrubs for granted.  Even though they don’t usually require the same amount of attention as green grasses do, they will thrive easier and better with a tree and shrub care plan.
​
For many shrubs and trees that are already planted around your lawn, one thing to watch for is leaning or a “falling” appearance of the plant.  If you have a shrub or tree (that isn’t too mature) that is leaning, you can use stakes around the perimeter of the plant in order to prop or pull it back to an upright position.

When thinking about the trees in our environment, a writer once stated, “Learn character from trees, values from roots and change from leaves.”  Most of us probably take the beautiful, sturdy trees all around us for granted, as we quietly depend on their consistent, stable presence.  Within your own surroundings, there are certainly things that you can do to help protect your trees and provide them with the healthiest conditions possible.  Every single tree is susceptible to damage or disease, but with proper tree and shrub care, the trees in your yard can be prepared for all of the elements that could prove harmful to them.  In this article, you will find tips and ideas of various ways to keep your trees healthy throughout the year:

1. Provide Mulch Around the Base of your Trees
​

​There are a variety of materials that can be chosen for mulch around your trees, based on preferred visual appeal, cost, and personal preference.  It is important to choose a mulch that works for your environment, because mulch provides a safety net for your trees.  Mulch around the base of a tree will provide a barrier against lawn equipment, thus protecting the tree from receiving damage during lawn care routines.  Mulch also helps the tree retain moisture within its root system.  This is especially important during the warm seasons of the year.

tree and shrub care
Trees in your yard provide not only beauty and welcomed shade on a hot afternoon, but they also provide a home and sanctuary for a variety of wildlife animals.  Beautiful, thriving trees are a true benefit for any yard.  It is important to keep them healthy and know what to look for in case of problems that may arise.  Any tree can be affected by the elements of the weather, or by disease or pest infestation.  Continue reading to learn more about ways to keep your trees healthy and thriving.
​

One simple way to ensure the health of your trees is to check the leaves regularly for color brilliance, shape, and normal size.  Any variation in the foliage, especially if found in massive amounts, should be inspected further.  Changing leaf color, shape, or size can be a signal that the tree is not receiving sufficient nutrients, or it may signal a disease or damage to the tree that needs to be identified.  Once the problem is identified, then the correct form of treatment can be initiated.  It may be necessary to call a professional who can evaluate the leaves and give you a clear diagnosis of the leaf variation.
