Blog Seasonal Tree Management: Tailored Care for Year-Round Health and Beauty Dec 02, 2025

As the seasons change, so do the needs of our landscapes. Trees, being the towering symbols of natural beauty and environmental health, require specific care tailored to each season's demands. Understanding this cyclical care is crucial for every homeowner who wants their trees to thrive. At Ross Property Service, we specialize in seasonal tree management, ensuring your trees maintain their health and beauty year-round.

Spring, a time of renewal, offers the perfect opportunity for tree inspection and early maintenance. After the cold dormancy of winter, trees begin to awaken, pushing out new growth. This period is ideal for a comprehensive inspection to identify any damage from winter weather. Look for signs of disease or pest infestations that might have gone unnoticed during the colder months. Spring is also the best time for pruning dead or diseased branches, which can help reduce the spread of potential diseases.

Summer care focuses on sustaining the rapid growth that trees undergo. The warm weather encourages leaf production, which in turn stimulates photosynthesis and growth. At this time, trees require adequate watering, especially those newly planted. Regularly mulch around the base to retain moisture and keep roots cool. Inspect for summer pests like aphids or caterpillars, and consider professional pest management if infestations occur. Additionally, maintaining structural balance with pruning helps trees withstand harsh weather and reduces the risk of breakage.

With fall comes the preparation for winter's dormancy. This season is ideal for fertilization, giving trees the nutrients they need to store energy for the coming months. Securely anchor young trees to protect them from winter winds. Fall is also a strategic time to prune excess growth, streamlining the tree's shape and removing any weak branches that might not survive the weight of snow. Collect and compost fallen leaves to mitigate fungal infestations and cycle nutrients back into the ecosystem.

Winter doesn't mean neglect; rather, it involves strategic dormancy management. Inspect your trees after storms for broken branches. While major pruning should be avoided, removing small, damaged branches can prevent future issues. Protecting the bark from sunscald with wraps or shading is advisable for some species. At Ross Property Service, we offer bark protection solutions tailored to your specific tree varieties.

Throughout the year, ongoing monitoring and tailored interventions prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. Our expert arborists are trained to recognize early warning signs of disease and stress. An integrated seasonally-adjusted tree maintenance plan increases resilience against diseases and harsh weather.
