Preparing Trees for the Fall Season

Preparing Trees for the Fall Season
August is the perfect time to look ahead and prepare your trees for seasonal changes. The care you give now can prevent stress and storm damage later.
Think Long-Term:
Fall brings leaf drop, heavier rainfall, and the first cold snaps—all of which test a tree’s strength. By addressing health, structure, and nutrient levels now, your trees will be better equipped to handle seasonal shifts.
Additional Preparation Tips:
- Assess root systems: Trees near construction or compacted soil may benefit from root aeration.
- Clear away competing vegetation: Grass and weeds around tree bases steal moisture and nutrients.
- Mulch renewal: Fresh mulch acts as insulation and moisture control going into fall.
