Spring is right around the corner, and now’s the time to show your trees a little love. After a long, cold winter in Northern New Jersey, your trees are just waiting for a little care and attention to bounce back strong.
At Big Foot Tree Service, we’re here to help your landscape shake off winter and come to life again. Whether you’ve got trees that need trimming, cleanup after a rough storm, or a few stubborn stumps left behind, spring is the season to tackle it all. Here’s how to get started.
Start with a Tree Check-Up
Before you do anything else, take a walk around your yard. Look up and down—literally. Keep an eye out for:
- Broken or dangling limbs
- Cracked trunks
- Leaning trees
- Mushrooms or fungi at the base
- Old storm damage

Time for a Trim
One of the best things you can do for your trees in early spring is tree trimming. This helps:
- Remove dead or damaged branches
- Encourage healthy growth
- Shape the tree properly
- Prevent limbs from causing damage in spring storms
Getting your trees trimmed before everything starts to bud helps them grow stronger and more evenly throughout the season.
Clear Out Winter’s Leftovers
Fallen branches, leaves, and winter debris can build up around the base of your trees, creating the perfect spot for pests and rot. Clearing things out:
- Helps prevent disease
- Keeps pests at bay
- Makes room for fresh mulch or new plants
If the cleanup feels overwhelming, don’t worry—we’ve got storm damage cleanup services to handle the heavy lifting.
Refresh the Mulch
Once the area’s clear, fresh mulch helps keep your trees hydrated and healthy. It locks in moisture, keeps roots cool, and stops weeds from stealing nutrients. Just remember not to pile it too close to the trunk—trees need to breathe, too.
Remove What’s Not Coming Back
Did a tree not make it through the winter? Still have an old stump that’s in the way of spring projects? Now is the time to clear the space. We offer safe tree removal and stump grinding so you can reclaim your yard and start fresh this season.
