The Ultimate Arbor Services

To attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, plant a variety of flowering plants rich in nectar and pollen. Choose native plant species, provide a continuous bloom throughout the seasons, and avoid using pesticides that may harm pollinators. Creating habitat features like water sources and sheltered areas can also enhance pollinator activity.

Eco-friendly landscaping practices include conserving water through efficient irrigation systems and drought-tolerant plants, reducing pesticide and fertilizer use, composting organic materials, using permeable paving materials to reduce runoff, and planting native species to support local biodiversity.

Improving soil quality can be achieved through various methods such as adding organic matter like compost, aged manure, or leaf mulch to enrich soil fertility and structure. Soil testing can help determine nutrient deficiencies and pH levels, allowing for targeted soil amendments. Additionally, practicing minimal tillage and avoiding compaction can promote healthy soil biology.

To prepare your garden for winter, start by cleaning up debris, removing spent annuals, and cutting back perennial plants. Mulch garden beds to insulate plant roots and prevent soil erosion. Protect tender plants from frost damage by covering them with frost blankets or bringing them indoors. Drain and store garden hoses, and winterize irrigation systems to prevent freezing and damage.

This depends on the pruning practice adopted for your tree and also can vary depending on the species of tree. 

But in most cases the time of year doesn’t have a major effect on the health of your tree.

It’s best to get your trees regularly inspected by a suitably qualified (minimum diploma level) arborist and together develop a tree pruning program and carry out works that are recommend.
