winter watering helps support healthier root systems by supplying nutrients while maintaining the moisture trees need. This also encourages a quicker spring green-up and healthier overall growth. Keep in mind that approximately 10 inches of snow only provides about 1 inch of water, which often isn't enough to meet a tree's needs.
We insert a deep root tree irrigator 3-4 below the surface where water is dispensed with numerous injection sites all around the drip line to quench your shrubs and/or trees.
This service is scheduled when the area has not received enough moisture during the winter months. We’ll send a reminder email to customers so that this is not overlooked.
Typically, winter watering is scheduled (Mid to Late) November, December, January, February, March & April.
