Heavy Growth Topples Trees

Wednesday, August 19, 2009


Day after day of rain has produced thick foliage and branch growth.

When heavy rains and strong winds hit, overgrown tree canopies become like a wall that wind can’t break through. Mix this wall of leaves and branches with waterlogged soil and heavy crowns and you have a recipe for uprooted trees, breakage and damage.

Frequent check-ups, reducing weight and lowering wind resistance is the best way to protect your trees.

Keep your trees off the storm casualty list. Schedule a free inspection with your Giroud Arborist to evaluate if your trees are overgrown and need pruning.

Heavy rains have diluted your soil's nutrients. Your trees and lawn depend on the soil to provide these vital elements to get through winter and emerge strong and healthy in the Spring. As we move into Fall, Giroud recommends injecting your trees with custom blend fertilizer which will provide the right combination of nutrients in a slow release formula that lasts for 12 months. Your lawn also needs fertilizer now. Giroud offers a special fall blend that helps your lawn establish strong root systems and prepare for winter stress and spring growth.
