Australian winters are nowhere near as frosty as those iced over cold months our Northern Hemisphere counterpart’s experience.
There are, however, still plenty of reasons why Aussie property owners should put in a little extra effort/budget throughout the winter months.
When it comes to storm damage, trees are responsible for a big chunk of the aftermath of wild weather. Falling trees and broken limbs frequently cause power outages, personal property damage and injuries – but this doesn’t have to be the case! In this blog, we’ll explain how you can avoid a worst case scenario by investing in the right tree services before the next storm strikes.
You may have heard gardening experts refer to palm trees as “self-cleaning”, but what does this phrase mean?
Palm trees produce one leaf (or frond) at a time, and once a mature tree has developed a full “crown” of leaves (which can be anywhere from 5 to 120 leaves) the tree must lose a frond every time it produces a new one.
Self-cleaning palm trees drop off these old, dead fronds without any help from gardeners. However, it can be hard to tell whether these fronds are going to eventually fall off or you should get someone in to carry out a palm tree cleaning.
Follow B & R Tree Service's guide to the most popular palm varieties in South East Queensland to identify what type of palms are in your garden, and find out what kind of maintenance they need.
Few outdoor features are as satisfying to behold as a well-maintained hedge. Hedges aren’t just a pleasure to look at either. They offer outdoor protection from the harsh Australian sun, act as a wind block and protect smaller plants, can attract bird life to your garden, and give you privacy without compromising on the aesthetic of your outdoor area. It’s not hard to see why so many budding gardeners aspire to master the art of hedge growing.
Hedging plants aren’t just for experienced gardeners, even though they do require hedge trimming to stay in top condition. If you get to know your plants and employ a professional to take care of the more serious hedge trimming, you too can enjoy the advantages of a beautiful hedge lining your garden.
Whether you're embarking on a new landscaping project, wanting a level surface to install a shed, deck or pool on, or just want to improve the aesthetic and safety of your property, removing an unwanted stump is one of the first tasks you need to tackle.
