Tree Health Year-Round
Jan 10, 2025

Absolutely! Mission Ready Tree Services operates year-round, ensuring that no matter the season, your trees get the care they need. The high desert climate of Western Colorado, with its blend of stunning landscapes and unique growing conditions, provides plenty of opportunities for tree care in places like Grand Junction, Fruita, Palisade, and The Redlands.
Winter is an especially great time to tackle certain tree care tasks. During this season, trees enter their dormant state, making it the perfect time for pruning. Trimming trees when they’re dormant reduces stress, encourages healthier growth in the spring, and helps prevent issues like disease and pest infestations. Without leaves in the way, winter also allows for a clearer view of the tree’s structure, so arborists can make precise cuts that enhance both health and shape.
Some trees, like topiaries or fast-growing ornamentals, may require more frequent maintenance—up to three or four times a year. Whether it’s maintaining an iconic shape or promoting healthy growth, regular attention helps trees thrive in the unique conditions of this region.
From the vineyards of Palisade to the orchards in Fruita, the neighborhoods in Grand Junction, and the scenic landscapes of The Redlands, tree care here is about balancing the natural beauty of the area with the specific needs of the environment. No matter where your property is, Mission Ready Tree Services is equipped to handle your tree care needs year-round.
