In Solon, 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 Solon, some of the most common tree pests and diseases include Needle Blight & Cast of Pines, Japanese Beetle, and Anthracnose. Here are signs and symptoms of how these pests and diseases can affect your trees. 

• Needle Blight & Cast of Pines: Brown spot needle blight creates straw to light brown spots on needles in late summer or fall, merging to kill most of the needle and leading to defoliation the next summer.
• Japanese Beetle: Chewed leaves become lace-like, may drop early, and can create a brownish “halo” in the upper canopy of small trees. Beetles also feed on fruits and flowers of various plants.
• Anthracnose: Tan, blotchy leaf spots signal early infection. The fungus spreads from leaves to twigs and branches, causing dead foliage to cling to the tree. If it reaches the trunk, it can be fatal.

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! Mulch significantly reduces evaporation, helping landscapes retain moisture longer between waterings—especially important in Texas's climate. 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 Solon Davey office for professional mulch installation and expert guidance.
