Has anyone felt the cold snap recently?
It feels like at the flick of a switch we’re now in the long sleeves and slippers of an evening!
Not only does it feel different in terms of the weather, your garden and trees are also gearing up for a change in temperature too.
Since the conclusion of daylight savings also recently, those long warm days have also come to a sad close.
So around your yard, you’ll start seeing a difference in the appearance of your garden and the trees within it.
It’s now a good time to reassess your garden as a whole - your trees and their condition.
In the lead up to the upcoming Winter season, some trees leaves will start to change colour and go yellow and eventually fall off.
Maybe you’re wondering what sort of preparation you can do around your yard for the Autumn season - maybe it’s time for a good clean up, some pruning you’ve been meaning to do or perhaps you need to get a professional arborist in for tree maintenance and pruning services.
It’s also a good idea to map out a basic plan on what you’re hoping to achieve so you can work towards your overall garden goals during the colder months. Northern Beaches Arborist can assist with all your arborist tree services, feel free to reach out to our team at any time!
Let’s look into some of those Autumn garden and tree tasks you can do!
Garden, Shrub and Tree Tidy Up
When trees start shedding their leaves, naturally there’s going to be some clean up involved.
Although trees and gardening can be a very rewarding and fruitful exercise, when Autumn arrives it can be a time of tidy up and engaging tree maintenance services.
Take the time to attend to cleaning up the leaves and assessing other general tidy up jobs around the yard and do your best to keep on top of it!
You may need the help of an expert to clear out your gutters in your roof to keep your place safe from fire hazards also.
Mulching
A good prep tip for the upcoming cold season, is to mulch your garden in Autumn in order to assist with protection from the cold and insulation of the roots.
If you need mulch, you can use wood chips from an arborist or you can purchase mulch at the local garden store or nursery.
Arborist Tree Services - Pruning
It’s an ideal time to prune in the cooler months because trees start to go into a sleep like, dormant state, especially when leaves start falling off.
So pruning during this dormant time causes your tree less stress when pruning them.
So map out which hedges and trees you’re going to prune, as the removal of the leaves will also give you greater visibility to the tree and its structure.
When considering pruning, if the tree is too big or you’re unsure how much to prune, you should consider the services of a certified arborist and tree specialist in the Northern Beaches.
Repot and Move
As the clean up job continues, you can also work out if there’s any trees you’d like to repot or move.
Similar to pruning and since the trees are in a dormant state in the cooler months, it’s an ideal time to repot or move trees and shrubs around.
An arborist such as Northern Beaches Arborist can assist with any tree re-potting or arborist tree services if you need a hand.
