Tree Care in Highland, UT

If you're a homeowner in Highland, you're likely dealing with trees that are about 22 years old, planted when your neighborhood was built. That means your Blue Spruce and Quaking Aspen are entering a critical maturity phase where their needs change. The most common mistake I see here 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 of soil. In our cool, dry climate with only 21 inches of annual rainfall, your trees need deep, infrequent soaking to build drought-resistant root systems that can handle our high drought risk.
