In the expansive landscapes of Texas, where the sun beats down and the air can be dry, trees stand as vital sentinels of natural beauty and environmental health. At LAWNS Tree Farm, we understand that nurturing these living giants goes beyond mere aesthetics—it’s about preserving the ecological balance and enhancing the quality of life for generations to come.
New Trees: The Foundation of Tomorrow’s Canopy
Planting a new tree is a commitment to the future. It’s an investment in shade, cleaner air, and a habitat for wildlife. However, the journey from sapling to shade-provider requires careful attention, especially in our hot Texas climate. Adequate watering is crucial during the early years to establish a strong root system. Our experts recommend deep watering once or twice a week, ensuring moisture reaches the roots rather than just the surface soil. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and regulates soil temperature, promoting healthy growth.
Watering in Times of Drought
With drought becoming increasingly common, proper watering practices are more critical than ever. Insufficient moisture stresses trees, making them more susceptible to diseases and pests. LAWNS Tree Farm advocates for a proactive approach: monitoring soil moisture levels, adjusting watering schedules based on weather patterns, and utilizing techniques like drip irrigation to maximize efficiency. By conserving water and using it effectively, we not only protect our trees but also contribute to water conservation efforts in our community.
Well-Established Trees: Sustaining Treasured Assets
For mature trees, ongoing care is essential to maintain their vitality and structural integrity. Regular inspections by certified arborists can identify early signs of disease, pest infestations, or structural issues that could compromise safety. Pruning, when done correctly and at the right time of year, enhances tree health and promotes proper growth. It’s a balance—removing dead or damaged branches improves aesthetics while reducing the risk of falling limbs during storms.
Commitment to Sustainability
At LAWNS Tree Farm, our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our operations to the communities we serve.
