Tree Tips & Tricks: How to Keep Your Property Safe, Beautiful, and Storm-Ready
At Tree MD Local Tree Care LLC, we believe healthy trees are more than just landscaping — they’re an investment in your property’s beauty, safety, and value. Here are our top tips to keep your trees in great shape all year.
1. Watch for Early Warning Signs
Trees can’t talk, but they do give hints when something’s wrong:
Dead or brittle branches
Cracks in the trunk
Mushrooms or fungus at the base
Leaning more than usual
Spotting these signs early can prevent costly damage or dangerous falls.
2. Don’t Wait for a Storm to Trim
High winds and heavy rain turn weak branches into dangerous projectiles. Scheduling regular trimming — especially before storm season — keeps your property and loved ones safe.
3. Keep Roots Healthy
Avoid piling mulch or soil too high around the trunk (“volcano mulching”). It traps moisture and can rot the base. Spread mulch in a wide, flat ring instead.
4. Call in the Pros for the Big Jobs
DIY tree work might seem tempting, but it’s one of the most hazardous home projects. Professional crews have the right equipment, training, and insurance to handle removals and high trimming safely — without damage to your property.
5. Clear Debris for Curb Appeal
Fallen limbs, leaves, and old stumps drag down your property’s appearance. A simple cleanup can instantly boost your home’s look and value.
