Bring More Light into Your Garden
A yard filled with beautiful trees provides shade, privacy, and aesthetic appeal, but too much shade can be a challenge—especially for vegetable gardens. Many vegetables require ample sunlight to grow strong and productive. Strategic tree pruning is a great way to increase light exposure while maintaining healthy trees and a balanced landscape.
Improve soil conditions with air spading
The most crucial element for the success of EVERY living plant or tree is healthy soil. By healthy we don’t just mean fertile, because that would simply describe the basic nutrients a plant needs to live such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Those are found in all fertilizers. We are talking about the life of the soil; whatever is active on a microbiological and fungal level.
what is an Arborist?
An Arborist is, according to Google “a specialist in the cultivation and care of trees and shrubs”. This broad description can be confusing since Landscapers also do some of the same, the main difference is that Landscapers, unlike Arborists, work at ground level while Arborists ascend trees to access the parts that require attention.
fertilize your soil naturally
This is a time of year when plenty are finishing the Fall clean-up by pruning back roses, cut dry stems of spent flowers, cleaning gutters and yes: raking leaves. Leaf blowers, rakes are pulled out, hours are spent making piles and most of the time, those piles are carried to the street to be picked up by the municipality Public Works.
Have you ever thought of not raking your leaves and see what happens during the Winter? If you pay attention, the leaves will quickly start their process of decomposition and inevitably break down to be pulled into the ground by worms and insects that count on that litter for food and shelter. Even the leaves left on lawn will disappear – even faster if you run your mower over them to be shredded.

YOUR NEIGHBOR’S TREE IS GROWING INTO YOUR YARD; WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS?
This issue has to be the most common one of all when dealing with trees. I can’t tell you how many times – sometimes in a single day – that the neighbor’s tree(s) is in the conversation!
Well, that is easy to understand why, right? Most of us live in modest lots with (hopefully) a certain amount of vegetation in it. Landscapes are often designed with trees and shrubs on the perimeter and trees, even potentially large ones often planted within a few feet of the property line.
After a few years and especially if the owner has not really selected the right tree, the tree is growing and crosses the property line.
