With summer having freshly arrived, not many people are looking forward to the oncoming arrival of winter. After all, this is a period where most people have holidays, enjoy their family and maybe even take a vacation to somewhere nice and tropical.

Trees serve different purposes on a residential property. They beautify a landscape, define space, provide shade and privacy, reduce environmental noise, improve air quality and stabilise the soil. In fact, if your property has trees, it is more valuable than a treeless lot of the same size.

However, if you’ve ever walked through a wood of deciduous trees in spring or autumn, you’ll know just how breathtaking the array of colours on display can be.…
Trees never stop growing. In fact, a study in 2014 discovered that as trees age, their growth accelerates! This means that even if you have an ancient tree in your yard, unlike an old human, it will continue to grow in size.
