Tree Installation and Maintenance Services | Hamden, CT

Tree Installation and Maintenance Services | Hamden, CT A common landscaping oversight that many Connecticut home owners make is not paying enough attention to the health of the trees that inhabit their property. When you are focused on providing the best care for your lawn and garden, it is easy to overlook the most obvious object on your landscape. Trees are an important aspect of your landscape because they will add value to your property and provide the necessary shade that can help keep your house or commercial business cool in the summertime. Taking the proper measures to maintain the health of your trees is very important.

We have put together a list of symptoms that may signal that your trees are in poor health and may need immediate care to prevent it from dying.

Damage to the trunk of your tree

If you notice that cracks or rotting are beginning to form in the base of the trunk area of your tree, then your tree may be experiencing some health problems. As years pass, the original bark of a tree will ultimately fall off of the tree and a new layer of bark will appear. If the new layer of bark is not surfacing and a polished level of wood remains on the surface layer of your tree, this is an obvious sign that the health of your tree is in jeopardy. The bark of a tree acts as a vessel to transport nutrients throughout the tree, so without bark, your tree will not receive the necessary nutrients it needs in order to survive.

Signs of dead wood within branches

During the spring and summer months, if you notice that some of your branches have leaves, while other branches are bare, it is an apparent sign that your tree is in poor health. The majority of tree will shed their leaves during the fall season, however dead branches will occasionally leave their leafs hanging well into winter months.

A tree that is healthy has the capability to acclimate and combat the harshest seasonal elements, from the freezing cold of winter to the dry hot conditions of summer. However just like people, trees can be subject to disease and can get sick and potentially die if they are not cared for properly. Having a landscape for your property, which is completely free of disease is very difficult to obtain because there are so many different types of disease carrying pests and organisms that can potentially infect your tree.

Spring Landscape Cleanup Services | Hamden, CT

Spring landscape design, maintenance, and installation services | Hamden, CT When the long Connecticut winter finally comes to an end and springtime approaches, you and your family can start to enjoy spending more time outdoors on your property. Which is why you should take the appropriate measures to ensure that your lawn is flourishing the spring season. The spring is considered to be one of the most crucial times of the year to implement landscape maintenance duties for your property. We have compiled a list of lanscaping measures you should consider taking during the onset of the spring season to ensure that your property will look beautiful and be the envy of all your neighbors.

Rake and remove debris

The first step you should take to preparing your lawn for the spring season is to rake and remove any debris that may have accumulated on your property during the winter season. With the harsh elements of winter, chances are there will be some remaining fallen branches and leaves remaining once the snow has melted away. Additional debris that is left populating your landscape in the spring can prove to be very damaging because it will make mowing your lawn more difficult, and can block sunlight as well get in the way of watering and applying seeds.

Apply mulch to your landscape

Many Connecticut homeowners believe that mulch is utilized for decorative purposes only. While it is true that a layer of mulch will improve the appearance of your landscape, it also provides many benefits to the health of your lawn as well. Mulch will allow your soil to retain higher levels of moisture, which will require you to water your trees less and reduce the amount of stress your tress will receive during the high summer temperatures. Adding mulch will also reduce the amount of soil erosion your landscape will receive during heavy rainstorms.

Mow your lawn high

It is very important that you sharpen or replace your blade on your lawn mower every few years. It is also recommended to mow your grass high because it will cause your grass to grow at a broader level and maintain a stronger root system. By keeping your roots strong, you will allow your grass to endure any pests or prolonged heat spells.

Core lawn aeration

Connecticut lawns will typically endure a lot of damage throughout the winter months which leads to thatch buildup. Performing core aeration on your lawn will provide many added benefits to your landscape including:

Allows lawns a greater opportunity to breath
Helps prevent thatch buildup
Allows water and air to reach the root zone faster
Improves the overall health of your lawn

Just as spring cleaning is a good idea for the inside of your house, it is vital to your property as well. Our spring service focuses on cleanup of accumulated dead grass, leaves and other debris from your lawn and flower beds. Our spring service manicures your property and prepares a healthy foundation for your plants for the upcoming season. Contact us today for more information regarding our Connecticut spring cleanup services.
