Seasonal Planning

Spring tree checkup: catch issues before summer stress

Spring is the best window to identify risk concerns, root-zone stress, and early canopy decline before high heat and storm activity stack up.

What to inspect first

  • Deadwood, weak unions, and visible cracks near target areas
  • Root-zone disturbance, soil compaction, and drainage changes
  • Early leaf-out irregularities compared with nearby trees

Action plan by priority

  • Immediate safety corrections for high-impact targets
  • Near-term pruning and structural support where needed
  • Season-long monitoring and plant health care scheduling

FAQ

Spring checkup questions

When is the best time for a spring tree checkup?

Late winter through spring leaf-out is ideal because structural concerns and early stress patterns are easier to spot before summer pressure increases.

Can spring checkups start with a video consultation?

Yes. A video consult can triage visible concerns quickly and prioritize which trees need an on-site assessment first.

What should property owners prioritize first?

Start with trees near homes, docks, driveways, and routine occupancy zones, then address secondary canopy and long-term health planning.
