Protecting Your Trees During Napa’s Rainy Winter Season
How to Protect Your Trees During Napa’s Rainy Winter Season
Winter in Napa Valley brings steady rainfall and high winds that can challenge even the healthiest trees. At Mike’s Tree Service, we help homeowners prepare their landscapes for the wet season with preventive pruning, inspections, and maintenance designed to keep trees strong year-round.
The Impact of Heavy Rain on Trees
Soil saturation weakens root systems, while wind and excess weight from water-logged branches can cause breakage or leaning. Trees already affected by disease or decay are especially vulnerable during this period.
Winter Tree Care Essentials
1. Pruning for Structure and Safety
Winter pruning removes dead or weak limbs, improving balance and preventing storm damage.
2. Soil Management
Proper drainage prevents root suffocation and helps trees stay anchored during prolonged rain.
3. Inspections for Hidden Issues
Early detection of cracks, fungus, or pest activity helps avoid emergencies later in the season.
Why Professional Care Matters
Attempting to prune or stabilize large trees yourself can be dangerous. Our licensed arborists use professional equipment and safety techniques to maintain tree health and protect your property.
