We’re now in the season of lawn maintenance and tree maintenance here in Pasco. There are so many possibilities of how to plant, shape, and maintain your yard and the trees and shrubbery in them. If you have questions about trees, we are an excellent resource. We are fully accredited arborists in Pasco and there are only a handful of us here in the area.

Here are some of the more common questions we receive:

• My tree is too big, should I “top” it? No, topping is one of the worst things you can do to a tree – it will only make the tree more hazardous.
• When should I prune my trees and how do I do it? The best time to prune hardwood trees is when they are dormant. Some flowering trees you may want to prune right after flowering. Conifers may be pruned any time of year, but pruning during the dormant season may minimize sap and resin flow from cut branches.
• My tree was damaged in a storm. Can I save it? Maybe; it depends on the age of the tree and the extent of the damage. The best thing is to not make matters worse by pruning it incorrectly.

Here are some of the more common questions we receive:

• What can I do to give my new tree a good start? Water and mulch are two of the best things for new trees. Just be sure to not overdo either. You can drown or suffocate your tree.
• Why do trees change color? A combination of factors causes change. Shorter Fall days and cooler nights cause trees to stop producing chlorophyll and allows the true colors of the leaves to be seen.
• How can I get grass to grow underneath my tree? Trees and turf have different water requirements. If you gave grass underneath a tree all the water it needs, you would kill the tree. Trees with lawn or turf do best when surrounded by mulch.
