As winter fades and the warmth of spring takes over, trees emerge from their dormant phase, ready to flourish. Spring is the ideal time to ensure the health and beauty of your trees throughout the growing season. Proper tree care during this time not only enhances your landscape’s appearance but also fortifies it against the effects of spring rains and storms. At Baker Tree Services, we’re here to share essential tips for maintaining a thriving landscape all year long.
Strengthening Roots and Managing Soil
The secret to a healthy tree lies underground, in its roots. Strong, well-nourished roots are vital, especially during the rainy spring months. Here are a few steps you can take to support root health:
- Mulching: Adding a layer of organic mulch around your tree bases helps conserve soil moisture, deter weeds, and stabilize soil temperatures. This creates optimal conditions for root growth and stability.
- Aerating the Soil: Soil aeration allows nutrients, water, and oxygen to reach the root zone more effectively. This process breaks up compacted soil, fostering a healthy root system and promoting robust growth.
- Fertilization: Not all trees need fertilization in spring, but identifying specific nutrient deficiencies can make a significant difference. Conduct soil tests to guide fertilization efforts, ensuring your trees receive the nutrients they need without causing environmental harm.

Pruning for Growth, Safety, and Stability
Pruning is a vital step in spring tree care, ensuring your trees are safe, healthy, and prepared for the season ahead. Dead, damaged, or overgrown branches can become hazardous during storms, making timely pruning essential.
- Improved Airflow: Pruning thins the canopy, enhancing airflow and sunlight penetration, which are essential for tree health.
- Reduced Sorm Risks: A properly pruned tree can withstand strong winds and heavy rains better, reducing the risk of broken branches and property damage.
- Encouraging New Growth: Pruning stimulates healthy new growth, creating a balanced structure and supporting long-term vitality.
