Pruning & Tree Trimming
Regular pruning and trimming is more important than you may think. There are numerous types, shapes and varieties of trees and shrubs and in order for them to maximise their full potential and remain healthy they need to be trimmed and pruned correctly.
Correct trimming and shaping is essential for:
garden aesthetics
tree safety
tree maintenance and health
Hedge Trimming
Hedges are a popular ornamental feature in many residential designs. Frequent trimming is important for the health your hedges. Trimming out dead or diseased parts of the plant will keep the hedge healthier and encourage new growth, while reducing the risk of insect problems in the hedge.
Trimming your hedges correctly and regularly will also allow them to fill in completely and provide more privacy and enhance the look of your garden.
Garden and Lawn Feeding
Feeding ornamental garden beds, and vegetable gardens can replenish soil that has been heavily depleted by the growth of plants over the various seasons.
The same applies to lawns. Feeding your lawn will promote grass resistant to injury and disease, and serve as a source of energy for root and shoot growth.Fertilisation will also provide better colour, enhanced spring green-up and increased rooting.
Seasonal Planting
Enjoy your garden all year around. With seasonal planting you can brighten up your garden and prepare for seasonal changes by planting annuals such as:
pansies - petunias
primrose - impatiens
polyanthus - begonias
calendula - dahlias
violas - lobelia
poppies … and many more.
Herbicide Application
Herbicides are an effective way to control unwanted grasses and broadleaf weeds. It is essential to apply herbicides in a manner that doesn’t come into contact with desirable plants.
Correct weedkiller application is not only safer, but a more time efficient method of weed control.
Let us take the stress and worry out of it for you. We have the expertise and the correct equipment to take care of all your spraying and herbicide application needs.
