Instead of worrying about complex tree care requirements changing throughout the year, you can rely on their expertise to keep your landscape thriving in every season.
The Importance of Season-Specific Service
Trees have unique needs in each season that directly impact their health and longevity. In spring, trees need support during their active growth phase with proper fertilization and pest prevention. Summer requires protective measures against heat stress and drought through strategic watering schedules and mulching.
Fall demands preparation for dormancy with cleanup of fallen debris and preventive pruning. Winter, though quiet for trees, offers the ideal time for structural pruning when pests are inactive and tree architecture is visible.
Season-specific care prevents long-term problems and saves you money. Without proper seasonal attention, trees become vulnerable to diseases, structural issues, and premature death. Elite Crew Tree Service designs maintenance plans that align with natural growth cycles, ensuring your trees receive timely interventions that prevent costly emergency services later.
Assessing Your Tree's Needs Throughout the Year
Regular assessment helps identify potential issues before they become serious problems. In spring, we examine new growth patterns, check for pest infestations, and perform soil pH testing to ensure proper nutrient uptake. Summer assessments focus on drought stress indicators, leaf disease management, and canopy health checks.
Fall evaluations include branch structure analysis and storm damage prevention measures before winter weather arrives. We inspect stakes and supports to ensure they're properly adjusted as the tree grows. Winter allows for comprehensive structural analysis when foliage isn't obscuring potential issues.

Seasonal Preparation for Tree Service Tools
Winter preparation includes thorough cleaning and rust prevention on all metal surfaces. They apply a protective coating of linseed oil to wooden handles to prevent drying and cracking in cold storage. Engine-powered equipment like chainsaws receive fresh fuel stabilizer before winter storage.
In spring, they check all equipment for winter damage and make necessary repairs. They sharpen blades that may have dulled during fall leaf cleanup and winter pruning. Mulch spreaders and root care tools receive special attention as spring planting begins.
Summer heat means more frequent equipment checks. They look for overheating in power equipment and ensure cooling systems work properly. They keep spare parts on hand for quick repairs during the busy growing season.
Fall preparation focuses on getting ready for heavy leaf cleanup and winter pruning. They sharpen and clean leaf removal equipment and check cold weather starting ability of all power tools.
Pruning Equipment Care
Elite Crew Tree Service professionals clean their pruning tools after each use to prevent disease transmission between trees. They wipe blades with alcohol or a 10% bleach solution to kill pathogens that could spread infections. Sharp tools make cleaner cuts that heal faster, so they sharpen pruning shears, loppers, and saws regularly.
They remove sap buildup with mineral spirits and apply light machine oil to prevent rust. Moving parts receive proper lubrication to maintain smooth operation. They inspect handles for cracks or splinters and replace damaged tools promptly.
For pruning saws, they clean between teeth with a wire brush and check for bent or broken teeth. Proper storage keeps tools in top condition—they hang tools rather than pile them together to prevent damage to cutting edges.
