Trees may seem to have minds of their own when it comes to where and how they grow, but trees that reside on commercial properties need professional maintenance throughout the year in order to enhance the overall curb appeal of the property.

Well-maintained trees contribute to the aesthetic appearance of your property, while unkempt trees become messy eyesores over time. Untrimmed branches may grow into walkways or power lines, partially exposed roots can become tripping hazards, and leaves that lose their rich hues simply do not look as nice on your property as they used to. CoCal Landscape offers a variety of tree maintenance services for properties in the Denver, Colorado, area that can help you keep your trees as healthy as the rest of your landscape.

Monitor Your Trees' Hydration and Minerals

Regular tree maintenance can take on a similar appearance to caring for your flower gardens. While watering trees regularly may not be necessary in all climates, it can go a long way toward keeping trees healthy and hydrated during hot, dry Denver summers. Watering your trees regularly is particularly important when you add young trees to your landscape, as they are less able to absorb a sufficient amount of water than older trees. On average, trees need approximately 10 gallons of water for every inch of the trunk's diameter, and young trees' small roots cannot obtain this water as easily as older trees with large roots can. Trees' need to "eat" the minerals and other nutrients in the soil that surrounds their roots is similar to their need for hydration. Regular soil testing can help determine what nutrients and pH levels are present in your landscape's soil, which can help to identify problems that lead to weak, discolored leaves.

Use Mulch to Improve Young Trees' Growing Conditions

Adding mulch, which is a layer of wood chips, straw, or a similar material, to the area around a young tree can be a particularly helpful aspect of tree maintenance that can help it to absorb and retain an adequate amount of water and nutrients. At CoCal, we can help you choose a type of mulch that matches the rest of your landscape nicely to give your young trees the best growing conditions possible.

Control Pests and Diseases with Professional Commercial Tree Care in Denver, Colorado

CoCal Landscape can also periodically inspect your trees for signs of destructive insects or diseases. Most insects or diseases that are caught quickly can be treated easily through a variety of antifungal and other formulas. Professionals should regularly inspect trees on commercial properties, as an untreated tree can begin to rot, which can cause the tree to weaken and become a safety hazard for the property's buildings and pedestrians.
