Why Seasonal Tree Maintenance Matters

In Michigan, each season brings unique challenges for your trees. Spring storms, summer heat, autumn leaf buildup, and harsh winters all place stress on your landscape.

Routine, seasonal maintenance ensures your trees are healthy, stable, and visually appealing—while also reducing risks of falling limbs, disease, or structural damage to your home.

At Vizion Tree Service, we help homeowners plan for every season so your trees thrive all year long.

Seasonal Tree Care Breakdown

Spring: Inspection and Cleanup

Spring is ideal for assessing winter damage and preparing for new growth.
Key tasks include:

  • Removing broken or dead branches
  • Checking for frost cracks or disease
  • Mulching to conserve moisture
  • Pruning for shape and structure

Summer: Growth Monitoring and Pruning

Mid-year maintenance keeps fast-growing trees in check.
Summer services often include:

  • Crown thinning to improve airflow
  • Removing low-hanging branches
  • Managing tree pests and fungi
  • Inspecting for signs of drought stress

Fall: Preparation for Harsh Weather

Fall is the time to prep your trees for snow, wind, and freezing temps.
Important fall services:

  • Deep root watering before ground freeze
  • Removing weak or dangerous limbs
  • Final shaping or pruning
  • Clearing away fallen debris or leaves

Winter: Emergency Services and Planning

While tree work is limited during deep winter, it’s still a critical season.
Our winter focus includes:

  • Emergency removals after storms
  • Planning spring planting or removals
  • Inspecting tree risk during dormancy

FAQs About Seasonal Tree Care

When is the best time to prune trees in Michigan?
Late winter to early spring is ideal for most trees, as they’re dormant and easier to shape before new growth begins.

Can you trim trees in the summer?
Yes. Summer pruning helps control size, manage pests, and reduce storm risk.

How often should I have trees inspected?
At least once per year. Storm-prone areas or aging trees may require more frequent evaluations.

It’s never too late to start. We’ll assess the condition of your trees and recommend a plan based on current needs.
