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.
