🌳 Spring Tree Care Checklist for Reno Homeowners

Protecting Your Trees, Preserving Our Urban Forest

Spring is a crucial time for homeowners in Reno, Nevada, to care for their trees — not only to ensure they thrive throughout the hot summer months but also to keep your property safe and beautiful. With the right attention now, your trees can grow stronger, resist pests and disease, and add lasting value to your home.

And if you’re unsure where to start, Urban Woodland Tree Care is here to help. As a local, professional tree service company based in Reno, they specialize in the health, safety, and long-term care of your trees.

✅ Spring To-Do List for Tree Health

1. Inspect Trees for Winter Damage

Reno winters can be harsh. Check for:

• Broken or cracked limbs
• Deadwood or signs of decay
• Leaning trunks or exposed roots

Call Urban Woodland Tree Care for a professional safety inspection, especially for trees near your home or power lines.

2. Schedule Pruning

Proper pruning helps shape young trees and remove damaged or dangerous branches.

• Improve air circulation and sunlight penetration
• Prevent pest infestations
• Encourage healthy new growth

Let the ISA-certified arborists at Urban Woodland Tree Care handle this — improper pruning can do more harm than good.

3. Mulch Around the Base

Add 2–4 inches of organic mulch around the base of your trees:

• Retains moisture
• Regulates soil temperature
• Prevents weeds

Pro Tip: Keep mulch away from the trunk (“donut style”) to avoid rot.

4. Deep Watering

Reno’s dry climate means trees often don’t get enough water, even in spring.

• Water slowly and deeply at the drip line
• Avoid daily shallow watering

Mature trees especially benefit from deep watering in early spring before the intense summer heat arrives.

5. Fertilize If Needed

Have your soil tested and only fertilize if your tree is nutrient deficient.

Urban Woodland Tree Care can help you determine exactly what your trees need (and don’t need) — saving you money and preventing over-fertilization.

6. Watch for Pests & Disease

Spring is when many pests and fungal infections emerge.

• Look for oozing sap, holes in bark, spotted leaves
• Note changes in color or foliage

Early detection saves trees. Let Urban Woodland Tree Care assess any signs of trouble.

7. Plant New Trees

Spring is a great time to plant drought-tolerant and native trees!

• Choose the right tree for your soil and sun exposure
• Don’t plant too deep
