Do you want to keep your trees healthy? First we will write some advices on tree care and after that we will introduce Tree Artisans, a tree services company in Colorado Springs.

Tree watering is a key part of tree care, but it is difficult to recommend an exact amount due to the variety of climates. A few guidelines will help you to water your trees properly. For new trees, water immediately after you plant a tree. Usually 30 seconds with a steady stream of water from a garden hose w/ a diffuser nozzle per tree seedling is sufficient. During the first couple growing seasons, your newly planted tree is expending a lot of energy trying to get its roots established in the soil. Especially during the first few summers of your new trees life, it will have a difficult time dealing with heat and drought. You can make this easier by providing water and covering the soil with wood-chip mulch. Deep watering can help speed the root establishment. Deep water consists of keeping the soil moist to a depth that includes all the roots.

Many people wait until spring to begin thinking about their landscaping, but the pros know that getting a head start in the fall can make springtime care easier and more rewarding. There are a few important steps to take when preparing your trees for colder weather. Nip problems in the bud by practicing the PINE method: prune, inspect, nourish and extend. Remember that healthy, well cared for trees generally don’t die, snap, lose limbs, or house termites. Keeping your trees healthy can help prevent damage to your home and property.

Pruning is essential in developing a tree with a strong structure and desirable form. Here are several methods showing you how to prune your trees.? Brittle tree species normally take the brunt of heavy icing after a winter storm.

The highest tree loss rates occur within the first three years after planting while the root system grows from the root ball into your soil. Many such losses are preventable with the right care. Watering trees at the right time and in the right way is the first step. Apply water to the original root ball and the surrounding soil once or twice per week during dry periods – depending on the weather and soil moisture levels.Proper mulch application conserves soil moisture and provides a better environment for roots to grow. Mulch should never be in contact with the trunk of the tree. Pest management is also important because young trees can’t afford to lose leaves or branches to pests. Fertilization helps to establish healthy growth and is a cost-effective way to help turn small plants into larger ones.
