In Cleburne and throughout Johnson County, the combination of dry soil, intense sun, and sudden summer storms can create a perfect storm for tree problems. Without rainfall for weeks, trees may become brittle and dehydrated. When storms hit, weakened limbs and unstable roots can quickly become hazardous. That’s why targeted seasonal maintenance is key to keeping your trees safe, strong, and standing tall through the harshest months.

A key advantage of forestry mulching is its beneficial effect on soil health. When vegetation is mulched, it decomposes and enriches the soil with nutrients . This organic matter helps to: Enhance soil structure: Mulch improves the structure of the soil, making it easier for roots to grow and access nutrients. Increase moisture retention: Mulch helps retain moisture in the soil, reducing the need for frequent irrigation.  Prevent erosion: By covering the soil with a layer of mulch, erosion is minimized, protecting your land from water runoff and soil degradation. This natural fertilization process is an environmentally friendly alternative to using chemical fertilizers, which can harm the ecosystem and water quality.
