Essential Tree Care Tips

1. Proper Watering

Deep, infrequent watering encourages deep root growth. Water your trees deeply once or twice a month during Sacramento's dry summer months.

2. Regular Pruning

Prune dead, diseased, or crossing branches to maintain tree health and structure. Late winter is the ideal time for pruning most Sacramento trees.

3. Mulching

Apply 2-3 inches of mulch around your trees to retain moisture and protect roots. Keep mulch away from the trunk to prevent rot.

4. Pest and Disease Monitoring

Regularly inspect your trees for signs of pests and diseases. Early detection is key to treatment.

5. Professional Inspections

Have your trees inspected annually by a certified arborist to identify potential problems.
