What Your Trees Need This Spring

Post-Winter Health Assessment: Identify storm damage, ice injury, and disease that developed during wet winter months

Structural Pruning: Remove hazardous deadwood before spring winds and promote healthy growth patterns.

Soil & Nutrition Management: Replenish nutrients depleted by winter rains; especially critical for Lake Washington waterfront properties with sandy soils.

Disease Prevention: Treat for fungal diseases, like Anthracnose, on flowering cherries and dogwoods before spring rains spread spores.
