Tree Care in Fruit Heights, UT

If you're a Fruit Heights homeowner, you're likely looking at trees that were planted when your neighborhood was developed in the late 1980s. That means your Blue Spruces and Green Ash trees are now about 38 years old, entering a critical maturity phase. In our cool-dry climate, the biggest mistake I see is watering. Your lawn sprinkler system that runs for 15 minutes every day is the worst thing for your trees. It encourages shallow roots because the water never penetrates past the top few inches. Your trees need deep, infrequent soaking to survive our high drought risk and develop the strong, deep root systems required to withstand our 5.3 average storm events each year.
