Or perhaps you’ve got some great ideas when it comes to landscaping your front or back yard and you’d like some professional advice. An arborist providing landscaping services in the Northern Beaches could assist.
Today we’re going to talk through some of the things you can do leading into spring to help prepare, maintain and look after your garden.
Spring Garden Tips
1. Spring clean and inspect existing trees and shrubs
During winter you potentially spent much less time in the garden that usual and perhaps just got the bare minimum done due to the cold.
Start off afresh in spring by preparing a clean slate – remove debris like old, dead leaves and twigs from underneath existing trees, weeding and also start checking that trees are getting new leaf growth.
Check your trees for any damage, disease or pests that could have occurred through the winter season.
If you suspect any of your trees could be affected, you may need to seek advice from an arborist, like Northern Beaches Arborist. An arborist will be able to assist with tree maintenance services in the Northern Beaches area.
2. Plant, prune and mulch
Before planting new trees and shrubs, it’s a good idea to prune and trim other surrounding trees that need it if you haven’t already done it through the winter, dormant time.
With planting new trees comes new responsibility. Brand new trees are more fragile and susceptible to pest attacks or infestations, so one thing you can do to help them establish is to mulch the area directly around the trunk of the tree. The mulch will assist the tree in retaining water rather than it running off and not soaking in.

3. Fertilise your trees and plants
Spring is the perfect time to start feeding and fertilising your trees and plants to help promote new growth, as it’s right before everything starts flowering and blossoming.
Look into a slow release fertilizer which can provide continuous and balanced plant feeding, some for as long as 12 months. The slow release fertilizer releases nutrients as the plant requires them.
