Fall Home Maintenance Tip: Pruning
Mid to late fall is the best time to prune plants and trees. The summer growth cycle is over and the plants are preparing for their dormant stage over the colder months.
Prune tree limbs and branches so they are at least 3 feet from your house. This prevents rain and snow from dripping onto your roof or siding. This will also prevent potential damage to your home in the event of high winds and heavy snow or ice storms.
Pruning your trees and bushes now will not only avoid potential damage to your home, but will also keep the plants healthy over the winter and ready for a new awakening next Spring.
For information on caring for specific plants and trees native to Hot Springs Village, visit the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension website.
