In this Landscape Management article, Lou Meyer from Davey's mid-Atlantic region shares tips to keep trees healthy during winter months. 

Posted: December 04, 2024

As fall gives way to winter and landscape crews make their final visits to the properties under their care, tree experts encourage them to spend as much time looking up at thetrees on those properties as they are looking down at the turf and landscaping beds.

That’s because this time of year is perfect for assessing the current health and safety of those trees and taking steps that can help prevent problems once spring rolls around again.

“This time of year, it can be a little more difficult for a layperson to discern hazards because many trees are dropping leaves, so dead spots are harder to make out,” says Lou Meyer, a certified arborist for Davey Tree who works in the Mid-Atlantic region.
