Spring soil care is the foundation of healthy trees. Colorado's dry climate and hard clay soils challenge even established trees. Adding mulch now, refreshing the soil around the base, and establishing proper watering patterns set your trees up for a strong growing season and long-term resilience.
Proper mulching improves moisture retention (critical in Colorado's low humidity), moderates soil temperature, and suppresses weeds that compete for water and nutrients. But there's a right way and a wrong way — mulch piled against the trunk can damage bark and create disease entry points. Our arborists know the best practices for your specific trees and soil.
Spring is the ideal window for this foundational work. Plant health care that starts now pays dividends all season long.
What does your soil and mulch situation look like around your trees? Have you refreshed it recently?
