When is the best time of year to work on my trees and hedges

At Koubsky Tree Service, we believe that the best time to work on your trees and shrubs depends on the type of work that needs to be done. For pruning, the best time to prune most trees and shrubs is during their dormant period, which typically occurs in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This is because pruning during the dormant period allows for better visibility of the tree’s structure, and it also helps to minimize the amount of sap that is lost during the pruning process. Additionally, pruning during the dormant period can help to reduce the risk of disease and pests. For planting, the best time to plant trees and shrubs is during the fall or spring. Planting during these seasons allows the roots to establish before the hot summer or freezing winter weather arrives. For fertilization, it’s best to fertilize trees and shrubs in…
