If you’re thinking about creating a new garden or planting some new trees, one of the key steps is
planning.
You always want to have an idea of what you’re trying to achieve before you start.
You might have moved house and have a completely blank canvas to work with, or you could be
looking at a complete garden overhaul, revamp or some tree planting. In any case, the old adage still
rings true - if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Mapping out and visualising what you’d like to do in your garden will give you a blueprint to follow.
Think about your end goals and keep them in mind when purchasing new plants or trees and
removing old foliage.
When it comes to actual tree care and maintenance in your new and improved garden, there are
some key tips you can adopt and implement to ensure it’s a success.
Invest A Little Time In Tree Care
If you’re not a natural garden person but are looking for low maintenance and visually appealing
garden outlook, research low care type tree species to plant and maintain – that way you get the
the benefit of an aesthetic looking outdoor yard area whilst not having to spend half your weekend
tending to it.
Practical ways of ensuring your success could be setting yourself reminders on your phone to
remember when to water, feed and prune plants and trees.
Planting New Trees
Choose an ideal location for new trees to be planted in your yard prior to purchasing or moving them
into the ground from a pot.
Ensure there is enough breathing space for the tree to grow. If you know beforehand the approximate
the height the tree will reach, it will be easier for you to plan on where you will place it.
A certified arborist can also assist with more complex tree planting or landscaping jobs in the Northern
Beaches.
Select Trees Suitable to Climate & Location
Planting trees, plants or flower species that are suitable for your geographic area and climate will
ensure they thrive and grow to their maximum potential. When planting new trees or landscaping,
consider an experienced arborist to assist with complicated tree works.
Pruning When Required
When considering pruning or tree trimming, ensure you are using the correct pruning techniques and
tools and do not over prune! If you need assistance with pruning or tree trimming services, get in touch
with Northern Beaches Arborist.
Regular Mulching
Reduce weed growth and improve the health of the soil surrounding your trees and shrubs through
mulching.
Mulching is applying a layer to the surface of the tree with things such as bark, chopped leaves, grass
cuttings, compost, wood chips, sawdust and pine needles.
Applying mulch around the new trees you’ve planted will enhance the visual appeal and promote
the growth of the new trees. Take care not to add too much mulch so as to stifle the tree’s growth.
