Let’s face it—summer can be rough on trees. Between scorching heat, pop-up thunderstorms, and curious kids with sticks, your yard’s trees are doing their best to hold it together.

At ProMark Tree Service, we’re here to help your trees survive (and thrive) during the hottest months of the year. Here’s how to show your leafy friends a little love:

☀️ 1. “I’m Not Wilting, You Are.”

Heat stress is real—and your trees can’t exactly ask for a cold drink.

What to look for:

Curling or drooping leaves
Early leaf drop
Scorched leaf edges

What to do:

Water deeply once or twice a week
Mulch around the base (2–3 inches thick, but never up against the trunk)
Avoid pruning or planting during extreme heat

💨 2. Storm Season = Tree Drama

Summer storms in PA love showing up uninvited—and they love knocking down limbs even more.

Now’s the time to:

Check for dead, cracked, or hanging branches
Look for leaning trunks or exposed roots
Call us before Mother Nature does the pruning for you

We offer emergency storm cleanup, too—because chainsaws and high winds don’t mix well.

🐛 3. Unwanted Summer Guests

From lanternflies to beetles, your trees might be throwing a pest party.

Keep an eye out for:

Sticky sap, sawdust piles, or chewed bark
Tiny holes in the trunk
Weird leaf discoloration

If something looks off, we’ll inspect it. Sometimes it’s a minor bug problem. Other times? It’s time to act before damage spreads.

✂️ 4. Give 'Em a Summer Shape-Up

Just like people get summer haircuts, trees appreciate a good trim (just not during peak heatwaves).

Summer pruning tip: We remove dead, broken, or unsafe branches now—and plan major pruning for cooler months. This helps your tree stay healthy and look great.

🏠 5. Keeping Your Property Safe & Shade-Friendly

Dead limbs and unstable trees aren’t just an eyesore—they’re a safety hazard. And if you’re planning outdoor projects like patios or fire pits, we can help clear space and preserve the trees you want to keep.

🌿 Let ProMark Tree Service Handle the Heavy Lifting

From inspections and pruning to full removals and storm cleanup, ProMark Tree Service is here to make sure your trees stay strong, safe, and shady this summer.
