You know we don’t often think of “tree emergencies” happening in the winter, but when ice and snow get heavy, it can often times bring down limbs or even compromised trees. Having said that, now is also a good time to have one of our experienced

Stay warm, stay inside and let us do the work!

Here's some practical advice in preparing for winter.

New Tree Installations

Fall is an excellent time to install new trees. Installed properly, they will acclimate to their new environment and will be ready to produce new growth in the spring. Proper installation of a new tree includes a hole at least 50% larger than the root ball and at a depth that produces a slight mounding effect when the tree is put in place. Aerating the surrounding soil is also a good idea, because it allows water and other nutrients to reach the root system. Finally, a fertilization program will supplement existing nutrients and will help your tree get a good start at its new location.

Care for Established Trees

Aerating the surrounding soil, fertilization, and mulching are also important for established trees. This is particularly the case if the surrounding soil is compacted or of poor quality. At McCullough’s, we use an Air Spade which aerates the soil to a depth of 8” – 10” without injury to the root system. We then add natural, environmentally friendly fertilizer in amounts that will produce the best results.

Firewood Supplies

McCullough’s is very proud of its commitment to recycling. The trees we remove are converted to firewood or mulch. We offer firewood for sale at both our Granville and Zanesville locations. We can also arrange a delivery for you.
