Basic Tree Maintenance Tips
Trees can often be taken for approved however extreme weather condition can take its toll. It is necessary to keep trees healthy and aim to avoid diseases or weather condition damage.
One of the very first things you can do is find out about the trees you wish to care for and their particular requirements. If you’re uncertain about the sort of tree you have, there are many resources online to help you, such as the Forestry Commission Tree Name Trail. When researching trees, the main points to look out for are:
- Type of soil needed
- Quantity of water required
- Specific level of sensitivities (dry spell, water, wind, etc).
When you understand more about your trees, follow these 5 pointers to keep your trees durable and healthy.
Secure the roots.
Focus on the zone around a tree up to where the branches extend. Roots can extend beyond this zone but this is the area where roots are more delicate. The key is to make sure that the soil is not too compact so that roots can keep taking in water and oxygen.
Protect the bark.
Think of the bark as an armour that protects the tree. Safeguarding the tree bark will avoid infections, diseases or insect activity. Look out for possible risks that might damage tree bark, consisting of:.
- Vehicles: trees near roads or driveways can suffer hits from tall vehicles. Remove lower branches to prevent breakage and make certain trees are visible in the evening.
- Lawn sprinklers: a spray of water that over and over again strikes bark at the same place can trigger damage. If you use sprinklers to water your yard, make sure these don’t straight hit trees.
- Branches: branches rubbing against each other can trigger damage to the bark. Prune branches correctly so branches don’t get braided.
- Lawn equipment: don; t get yard equipment near to the tree trunks as this can trigger severe damage to the bark.
Water efficiently.
Trees typically flourish well in existing wetness conditions and do not need any extra watering. However, depending on your local environment, you may have to water your trees during extended periods of dry spell. If you do need to water trees in the summer season, a periodic deep watering is chosen to a frequent misting. In winter trees shouldn’t need any watering.
Prune appropriately.
We’ve formerly written about pruning trees as it’s a vital part of tree maintenance. It’s something you can do yourself if you know exactly what you are doing, otherwise you can constantly employ an expert. The main points to look out for are:.
- Crossing branches: get rid of the smaller branch so the stronger one can grow without being damaged.
- Broken and dead branches: a tidy cut will assist the tree heal.
Low branches: remove branches that are low and are vulnerable to damage (i.e. by an effect). You can also eliminate low branches for visual purposes.
Keep soil healthy.
There are 2 ways you can ensure that the soil around your tree is rich in nutrients.
- Use mulch. Spread a layer of mulch around your tree, about 2 to 4 inches thick. The mulch does not have to touch the trunk.
- Plant grass or some kind of ground cover. Dead plant material will decay in the ground and enhance the soil. Make certain your plants can thrive in the shade and that their roots don’t take on the tree.

Knocklyon (Irish: Cnoc Lín) is a suburb of Dublin in the administrative county of South Dublin within the traditional County Dublin, Ireland. Unlike many Dublin suburbs, Knocklyon was not developed around a village; rather it largely comprises modern housing built between the village of Templeogue and the former hamlet, now a suburb in its own right, of Firhouse. A number of old cottages and farmhouses along the Knocklyon Road attest to the area’s rural past.
