Tree maintenance procedures that can significantly increase a tree’s chance of making it through drought periods:

Often, drought stress may not kill a tree outright, but set it up for more serious secondary insect and disease infestations in following years.

A sagging evergreen tree is a sign of stress.

 Mulch around your trees with  2 no more than  4 inches of organic mulch to retain moisture.

 
 Use wood chips, shredded bark,  I always sugguest hard wood bark, not Pine can change the ph more. Keep the mulch 6” from the trunk of the tree.

 Avoid placing concrete or rock around the tree.

Dont let the patio guy tell you it wont hurt the trees hes selling you somthing.

Its best not to do constuction close to a trees stay at least 15 feet to 30 feet away consult with your tree doctor before you build.
 

Let a professional  fertilize a tree that is under drought stress.

Salts in fertilizer may burn roots when there is not sufficient water. so dont fertilize more than twice a year, Dont let landscapers fertilize often they dont apply near enough or they dont have the proper equipment.  Fertilizers may also stimulate top growth resulting in too much leaf area on the plant for the root system to maintain during periods of limited soil moisture.

Postpone any construction activities planned near your tree to reduce impact to the trees’ roots. If your tree has any insect or disease problem that may be adding additional stress – treat them accordingly to reduce the overall stress to your trees.
