Just like the Lorax we speak for the trees....

Did you know?

Pruned/Trimmed Trees Are Healthier. Cutting away the dead allows the tree to more efficiently nourish the remaining branches. Furthermore, when trees become dense, thinning the branches helps to decrease the weight of branches and increase the amount of light and air that get through to the tree. Healthy trees are happy trees. 🌳

Did you know that for fire mitigation——Trees should be pruned to remove deadwood and lower hanging branches. For trees within 30 to 70 feet of your home or property, lower branches should be pruned to a height of 8 feet from the ground and branches should reach no less than 8 feet from a roof or 10 feet from a chimney. 🌲

SouthWest Tree Service cares about the health of your trees, as well as the safety of your home and family. That’s why we offer tree and bush trimming, complete removals (when necessary or desired), lot clearing, and fire and weather mitigation.

In the spirit of the holiday, we thought we’d share some Christmas Tree (live tree) care tips:

1. If purchased from a store cut one inch off of the trunk and put in a sturdy stand that holds at least 1 gallon of water.

2. Don't forget to regularly give your Christmas tree water — too little can cause resin to form, which means the tree won't absorb water and it will dry out quickly. Follow this rule of thumb: For every inch of the trunk's diameter, fill the stand with one quart of water.

Even though you've heard people talk about adding things like bleach, corn syrup, aspirin, and sugar to the water, tree preservatives and additives are probably unnecessary. Most experts agree that plenty of clean water is all you need to keep a tree fresh. Just remember to check the water level daily — it should always cover the cut end of the trunk. Refill as needed.

3. Keep tree away from heat source. Aside from it being a fire hazard, being near a heat source will dry your tree out much faster.

4. Enjoy the beauty that a real tree brings to your home.

5. Take down before it gets too try, it’ll mean less needles to clean up. Compost your tree, recycle it, or mulch it. There are lots of eco-friendly ways to dispose of your tree.

And if the trees on your property or in your yard need attention SouthWest Tree Service is here to help. We offer tree and bush trimming and removals, fruit tree pruning (when cold weather hits and trees are dormant and not producing), lot clearing, and weather and fire mitigation. Estimates are always FREE. Give Bobby Schenck a call at (970)623-5225 or message us on Facebook.
