Boone NC Tree Service Through the Seasons: What Homeowners Should Know

At Krause Family Arborist, we know that Boone’s changing seasons create different challenges for trees throughout the year. From heavy snow to humid summers, each season brings unique needs. Our team provides year-round tree service to help your trees stay strong and healthy in every condition. As ISA Certified Arborists, we understand how local climate, soil, and elevation affect trees in this part of North Carolina.

Spring: Start Fresh with Inspections and Growth Planning

As winter ends, trees begin to wake up. Spring is the right time to inspect your landscape for damage left behind by snow, ice, and wind. Cracked limbs, leaning trunks, and bark injuries are all easier to spot when new growth begins. Our team walks your property to check for signs of trouble and help you understand what needs attention.

Early spring is also the time to catch pest problems before they spread. Insects and fungi often become active when temperatures rise. We can apply targeted pest control treatments and offer trimming to promote healthy new growth.

If your view has started to fade due to overgrowth, spring is also the perfect time to plan a view enhancement project. Selective pruning or thinning can restore sightlines and make your property more enjoyable during the warmer months.

Summer: Maintain and Prepare for Weather Risks

During summer, trees grow quickly. While this can bring a fuller canopy, it can also cause overcrowding. Heavy limbs may extend toward your home, roof, or driveway. Our pruning and trimming services help reduce these risks. Removing weight from the canopy improves airflow and light penetration, which supports better tree health.

Summer storms are common in Boone. Preparing your trees before wind or rain hits can reduce the chance of broken limbs and fallen trees. We identify weak branches and signs of stress that might not hold up during severe weather.

We also continue to monitor for pest and fungal issues during this season. High humidity and dense foliage can create conditions where problems grow fast. Spotting and treating them early can prevent long-term damage.

Fall: Strengthen and Protect Before Winter

Fall is a good time to evaluate your trees again. We look for structural issues like poor branch attachments or root problems that may cause trouble in winter. Our team checks the stability of mature trees and reviews the overall health of your landscape.

Storm cleanup becomes important during this time. If your property has leftover debris from summer weather, we remove fallen limbs, clear walkways, and check trees that may have been weakened.

Preventative pest treatment is also helpful in fall. Applying certain treatments at this time can reduce the number of overwintering insects and prepare your trees for a healthier start in spring. We also inspect roots and soil conditions to confirm your trees have the support they need as growth slows down.

Winter: Ideal for Removal and Major Trimming

Many homeowners don’t realize that winter is one of the best times for tree service. Cold weather puts trees into dormancy, which helps reduce stress during trimming or removal. It’s also easier for us to work around the property when leaves are gone and the ground is firm or frozen.

We often recommend doing tree removal in winter for several reasons. It causes less disruption to your landscape, and it allows you to prepare your yard for spring planting or projects. We also take on larger pruning jobs during this season. By thinning or reshaping trees in winter, we help them grow with better structure when the weather warms up.
