Blog Seasonal Influence: Tailored Tree Care Tips from Bear Creek Tree Service LLC Oct 20, 2025

As the vibrant colors of summer fade into the crisp air of autumn, and eventually give way to the stark landscapes of winter, how we care for the trees on our property must also transition with the seasons. At Bear Creek Tree Service LLC, we understand that each season brings its own challenges and opportunities for tree care. By tailoring your tree care approach to the season, you not only maintain the aesthetic beauty of your landscape but also ensure the health and longevity of your trees.

Spring is a time of renewal, not just for our surroundings but for the trees as well. As buds begin to blossom, it's crucial to conduct a thorough inspection of your trees. Look for signs of diseases or pest infestations that might have developed over the winter months. It's also the ideal time to fertilize your trees, ensuring they have the nutrients needed to support new growth. Pruning in early spring is beneficial too—it helps to shape the tree and remove any dead or damaged branches that could become hazardous in high winds or storms.

Summer brings with it long days and plenty of sunshine, which our trees certainly enjoy. However, it's important to ensure they're receiving enough water, especially during periods of drought. A slow, deep watering at the base of trees helps maintain moisture. The application of mulch around the tree's base can help conserve water, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature, all of which contribute to healthier trees. Regularly inspect your trees for signs of stress or disease and consult with a professional if you notice anything unusual.

As the leaves begin to change color in autumn, this signifies a transition period where preparation for the coming cold is key. It’s essential to clear fallen leaves and debris, which can harbor pests and diseases. This is also the opportune time for another round of pruning. Removing weak or overgrown branches helps mitigate the risk of branches breaking under the weight of snow. Consider consulting with an expert from Bear Creek Tree Service LLC to evaluate the tree’s structure and make recommendations that will increase the likelihood of its survival through winter's harsh conditions.

When winter arrives, and trees have shed their leaves, it's the ideal time to undertake necessary maintenance. With the branches clearly visible, winter allows arborists to identify issues unobscured by foliage. This is an excellent period for structural pruning, as trees are dormant and less likely to be negatively impacted by cutting. Additionally, wind and snow can cause damage, so inspecting for and addressing potential hazards should be a priority.

At Bear Creek Tree Service LLC, we emphasize the significance of seasonal tree care tailored to the specific needs of your trees and the local climate. By adhering to these seasonal guidelines, you not only promote the health and vitality of your trees but also enhance safety around your home and optimize the beauty and recreational value that trees provide.
