Blog The Power of Seasonal Tree Inspections: Preventative Care with Braun Tree Service Feb 18, 2025

Maintaining the health and beauty of your trees is vital, not only for aesthetic reasons but also for the safety and value of your property. Trees, like any other living organisms, require regular attention and care to thrive. One effective strategy in ensuring they remain healthy all year round is conducting seasonal tree inspections. At Braun Tree Service, we emphasize the importance of these inspections as a crucial aspect of preventative care.

Seasonal tree inspections provide an opportunity to assess the condition of your trees across different times of the year. Each season presents unique challenges and opportunities for tree care. By engaging in regular inspections, potential problems can often be spotted early, avoiding costly remedial measures later on.

In spring, trees start to come back to life, making it an opportune time to inspect for any damage sustained during winter. Winter storms and cold can lead to broken branches or splits in the trunk. An inspection during this time helps identify signs of disease or pest infestations that may start in spring, allowing for early intervention. This proactive approach can save you time and money by reducing the need for extensive repairs or removals in the future.

Summer brings with it heat stress and, in some regions, drought conditions. An inspection during the warmer months focuses on ensuring trees are getting sufficient water and aren't showing signs of stress. Look for wilted leaves or premature leaf drop, as these are signs your tree may need additional care. Regular watering and mulching around the base can be effective ways to retain moisture and keep trees healthy.

Come autumn, the spectacular display of fall colors is a perfect time to assess any structural issues. As leaves drop, the tree's skeleton becomes more visible, making it easier to spot structural weaknesses such as cracks or dead branches. It's also the best time to plan for necessary pruning to remove deadwood and improve the tree's shape and health.

Winter inspections are about preparing your trees for the harshest weather conditions. Check for any branches that hang precariously or could pose a risk during storms. With the trees in a dormant state, it's also the ideal time for pruning. Since there is less foliage, an arborist from Braun Tree Service can quickly address any significant structural concerns. Pruning in winter promotes robust growth once the tree awakens in spring.
