With the arrival of the cooler and wetter autumn weather to Sydney’s shores, tree experts are gearing up for a busy stretch of time. Autumn is an important time for arborists and tree care, and taking care of both the trees and our client’s houses can be a busy job. Autumn is, after all, a key period for tree care.
First, with the wet autumn weather come new challenges. Root systems can be more easily eroded during this stretch of wet weather, and any trees in precarious positions for erosion, such as hillsides and in ravines near your home, are in greater danger for collapse or root exposure. Removing the weight on these trees’ root systems can make a big difference in their continued growth.
Autumn is also an excellent time to rid your home of any overhanging branches. No one enjoys the task of clearing their gutters of leafs and debris each fall, and ensuring no branches overhang the house makes this considerably easier. It also reduces the odds that the wilder weather of the winter months could bring these branches down on your roof line.
There is an added benefit, as well. These branches are often used as a conduit for pest species, including rodents and termites, to access your home in their search for a warm winter abode. It is best to encourage them to head elsewhere by removing this entry point.
Pruning back your trees is also best suited to the fall. The departure of leaves means the holistic structure of your tree is more easily noticeable, and their semi-dormant state means they are less prone to illness or injury as a result of cutting them back.
