Tree Care in Somers, MT

If you're a homeowner in Somers, you're likely looking at trees that are about 34 years old, planted when these neighborhoods were built in the early 1990s. That means your Quaking Aspens and Blue Spruces are now mature, and they need a different kind of care than when they were saplings. One of the most common mistakes I see is watering. The automatic lawn sprinkler system that runs for 15 minutes every day is actually the worst thing for your trees. It keeps the roots shallow because the water never soaks deep into the soil where the tree needs it. In our cold-dry climate with only 19 inches of rain a year, your trees need deep, infrequent watering to build a strong, drought-resistant root system. This is especially critical for Ponderosa Pines and Douglas Firs, which are built for our conditions but still need proper hydration to thrive.
