In West Cleveland, the best time to prune most trees is during late winter to early spring, before new growth begins. Pruning during this dormant season helps trees heal quickly, reduces stress, and lowers the risk of disease or pest infestation. 

In North Royalton, some of the most common tree pests and diseases include Scale Insects, Mites, and Chlorosis. Here are signs and symptoms of how these pests and diseases can affect your trees. 

• Scale Insects: Scale infestations cause small, yellow-mottled leaves, canopy thinning, leaf drop, branch dieback, and possible plant death. 
• Mites: Mites are tiny but cause noticeable damage to trees, shrubs, and plants. Signs include leaf spotting, bronzing, yellowing, and small webs between twigs.
• Chlorosis: Chlorosis first appears as yellowing in normally green foliage, caused by improper pH, poor soil moisture, or nutrient deficiencies.

A Plant Health Care (PHC) Program is a proactive, year-round plan to keep your trees and shrubs healthy and pest-free. Our certified arborists focus on prevention and early detection by monitoring soil health, nutrients, insects, and disease. Based on your property’s needs, we create a customized care plan that may include fertilization, pest management, pruning, and soil improvement. 

Yes! Mulching around trees helps retain soil moisture, reduce weeds, improve soil nutrients, and regulate root temperature. Without mulch, tree roots must compete with grass for water and nutrients, which can slow growth and weaken the tree. Learn more about the benefits of mulching in our blog.

For best results, apply 2–3 inches of organic mulch around the tree, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk. Proper mulch installation is essential for the long-term health of your trees and plants. Contact your local North Royalton Davey office for professional mulch installation and expert guidance.
