Trees and Shrubs: Springtime Maintenance Activities

There is one thing that has remained true and unchanged, about the nature of relationship between man and nature through eons. It is the most essential part of nature to grow wildly and undisturbedly, just as it is deep in the nature of man to tame it and shape it according to his own needs. There is nothing more logical and natural than the desire of a human being to live in a genuinely green and natural environment, but in order to create and maintain this oasis of nature on your own property it takes a lot of will, patience and, above all else, knowledge.

Greening up Your Oasis

Apart from its functional side, there is one more thing that you need to pay special attention to, the arrival of spring. This is the aesthetic side of your garden which at the same time represents one of its main aspects. There is no way that is better, more appealing and more natural, in transforming your garden into a real oasis of nature, than decorating it, or better yet, enriching it with the carefully planned set of trees and shrubs.
Still, this, although extremely rewarding notion, in its dazzling and simple beauty, is not as easy to achieve as it may seem at first. This fact stems from the idea that once you have managed to choose the perfect shrubs for your garden, which is in no way simple task even on its own, and once you have planted them in the desired location, which can also require quite a bit of effort, your work had just began. The most difficult and the most important thing about having shrubs in your garden or yard is their maintenance. However, with just the right amount of determination and resolve, even this obstacle, to the idea of you possessing the garden of your dreams, can easily be surpassed.

Pruning is the Key

When it comes to the question maintenance of your garden trees and shrubs, there is no activity that is more important than regular and careful pruning. There are many reasons why you should regularly prune your trees and shrubs. Amongst the most popular are the health of your shrubs and most importantly your own safety and that of your family. However, in the recent chat with Sydney-based tree pruning experts, it was brought to my attention that every shrub has a different pruning season. This is something that is extremely important for everyone to pay attention to, before the very act of pruning commences.

The Perfect Time for Transplanting

The soil conditions are never more favorable to transplantation than they are in the early spring. If you use this perfect temporal opportunity, you can easily, safely and in no time, successfully transplant any shrubs or trees in your garden, onto its newly elected position. Simply excavate your shrub with spade, dig a hole, at a desired location, that is several inches wider and deeper than the last one was, and in order to further enhance shrub’s growth, enhance the soil beneath it with a bit of fertilizer. All of this should take you less than two hours.

Like anything else that is good in life, maintaining your trees and shrubs is something that takes time and personal care. However, as the popular proverb states, where there is a will, there’s always a way. Approach the question of maintenance of your garden with care and devotion and soothing and calming effects of your dream-like garden will, in the end, turn out to be worth all effort invested in it.
