Like anything else in life, trees require a lot of maintenance. At 904Tree.com we have seen the same tree-care mistakes over and over, and we want to help Jacksonville homeowners avoid them.

1. Too Much Mulch

Piling on too much mulch chokes off the oxygen available to the soil, which can damage and even suffocate the roots. Keep mulch a few inches back from the trunk and no more than 2–3 inches deep.

2. Pruning Too Much — or Not Enough

Prune a tree too hard and you strip away the leaves it needs for energy, starving the tree. Prune too little and dead branches build up, blocking sunlight and eventually falling on cars, roofs, and people. Balanced, regular pruning is the goal.
