Choosing a Tree Service for Your Tree

Here's a question that might sound a bit strange. Are the trees in your town or city sexist? Urban planning has led to botanical sexism, which is when the male varieties of the chosen tree species are planted rather than the female. The female varieties are those that flower, and these flowers create debris which are then deposited onto the streets and footpaths. All that the male varieties generally create is pollen, which fertilises the females.

If you're looking to free up some space in your garden or on your street, one of the most obvious solutions is the removal of an existing tree. Australia's tropical weather leads many homeowners to value the trees present around their property as a source of shade and fresh air. However, it is common for trees to develop damage that may compromise the health of their small ecosystems, or to grow too large to accommodate comfortably.

Drowning, or the inhalation of liquid, is a terrible thing. But it's not as though a lifeform really needs the ability to inhale in order to drown. Trees need water in order to live, but if there's too much water, your trees can, in a manner of speaking, drown. This is not generally as straightforward as an overly enthusiastic gardener watering their trees too much either (although this behaviour can certainly play a role in a tree's drowning).

Cutting down a tree (professionally known as tree felling) might seem like one of the most basic tasks you could undertake in the garden, but the reality of the situation is much different. Trees are unpredictable structures that often do not behave how you hope they will. The only way you can be assured that they will do what you want when you cut them down is by eliminating all other options for the tree to take.

With the arrival of autumn, the temperature has started to cool in Australia, and this is the perfect time to head outside and tackle those garden chores that you have been delaying. There are several reasons why it is a good idea to remove the stump of a dead tree from your property, and the number one reason is safety. Once the stump has gone, there is no longer the risk of you or a household member falling over it and getting hurt.

Tree reports are a useful tool to gauge how healthy your trees are and whether they are any risk to your home, property or surrounding buildings. However, most of the time you aren't thinking about when your next tree report is due, so what exactly are the requirements for commissioning tree reports? Unless you have a good reason, most tree service agencies will be confused as to why you even require their services so here are a few basic guidelines as to whether or not a tree report is necessary for you.

Did you know that 1 in 8 bird species around the world is in danger of becoming extinct? As such, Australians should do all they can to preserve native Australian birds. In Australia, birds begin to build nests and breed in August. The breeding season won't end until November. This means that you should take care when trimming your trees during this period. Before you hire an arborist or tree trimmer, you should ensure that you don't disturb nesting birds.

Are you thinking about planting a new tree or two in your yard? Then you should seriously consider hiring an arborist before you select and plant your tree. A new tree can offer your property a host of benefits. It'll keep you cool in the summer heat, serve as a focal point for your garden, increase the value of your property and attract birds to your yard — but only if you plant it correctly.
