What is mulching and why is it important?
Mulching involves laying a layer of protective material (e.g., wood chips, sawdust, bark chips) around the base of plants/trees to insulate their roots from extremes in climate while helping them conserve water and retain vital nutrients for better growth.
What is an Arborist?
An arborist is a professional who specializes in the management, cultivation, and study of woody plants such as trees, shrubs, and vines. They possess a wealth of knowledge and training on individual tree needs, and are often called upon to evaluate the health of trees and provide recommendations for their care and management, which may include fertilization, pruning, and pest control.
What is Tree Removal?
Tree removal involves the extraction of one or more trees, stumps, or tree parts fr
What is tree lopping and is it safe for the tree?
Tree lopping involves trimming branches and limbs that may be dead, diseased or hazardous to reduce the risks of damage to your property. It can also help balance the tree’s canopy to increase sun exposure and airflow to promote healthy growth. This service is generally considered safe when done by qualified professionals like us.
What is Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding is the process of removing a tree stump after it has been cut down. This process involves using a stump grinder to grind the tree stump into wood dust, which leaves no trace of the stump or any surface tree roots.
What is Tree Pruning?
Tree pruning is the removal of damaged or diseased branches and stems from a tree to maintain the overall health of the tree. In Australia, pruning is commonly performed on fruit trees just after winter to promote manageable tree sizes and improve fruit quality.
What is Land Clearing?
Land clearing involves the controlled removal of trees, stumps, brush, and other types of vegetation and obstacles. It is often done to prepare land for construction or farming purposes.
