New Year’s Resolutions for Your Landscape and Trees

New Year’s Resolutions for Your Landscape and Trees

Each January, when the new year starts, many of us make New Year’s resolutions.  Whether they are for health, finances, or family, we often look for ways to improve and grow when the calendar changes.

One great New Year’s resolution is to do more in your landscape.  Whether you want to garden, grow flowers, create a haven for bees, take better care of your trees, or just clean things up, this can be a great time of year to think, plan, and prepare.  An improved landscape can be something you can enjoy year-round and healthy trees can have a number of benefits.  The change of the year is also a great time to get ready for spring and to plan out the seasons and there are a number of beneficial tree services that can take place this time of year.

As you think about resolutions for your landscape, one place you’ll want to focus on are your trees.  They can be the largest and most noticeable features in a landscape, and they can have an influence on everything else in it.

As you make resolutions for your landscape and the trees in it, some things you might want to keep in mind are:

• Inspiration and ideas can come from all sorts of places.  You can get ideas from friends, shows, magazines, and social media.

• Taking notes and pictures can help.  As you think about what you might want to do, taking notes as you get ideas can be great in helping you keep track of things.  Pictures can be wonderful in terms of thinking about what you want to do and coming up with ideas.

• The idea of setting attainable goals.  As you look at your landscape and think about how you might want to improve it, keep in mind things like your time and budget, and work to set goals you can attain.

• You don’t have to do everything at once.  As you look at your landscape, you might have a number of ideas for what you might want.  These can be great to note but can also seem like a lot.  A tip that can help is to remember you don’t have to do everything at once.  You can make a plan and do things over time.

• Talk to a professional.  As you look at the trees in your landscape and think about what you might want to do in the new year, having the advice of a professional arborist can be a great asset.  A professional arborist can give you information about your trees and they can help you develop a plan for what your trees could need.  They can help you turn the goals you have for your trees into action.

When an arborist examines your trees, depending on what they find and your situation, they can make a plan for tree trimming and pruning, provide recommendations for tree removal when needed, develop a plan for things like dormant oil spraying and tree planting, and much more.  An arborist can give you professional advice and help you to develop a plan for your trees.

The start of the new year can be a great time to get an arborist consultation before the spring rush happens.  You could get an estimate at the start of the year and schedule the services you need for a later date when it might be more convenient in terms of time and budget.
