1. Overgrown Hedges and Shrubs
Tip: Regular trimming maintains plant health and aesthetics. Prune hedges and shrubs during their active growth periods to encourage dense foliage and prevent overextension. This practice also enhances air circulation, reducing disease risk.
How Fluro Gardens Can Help: Our team provides expert pruning services, ensuring your hedges and shrubs are shaped and maintained to promote optimal growth and visual appeal. We understand the local flora and apply techniques suited to the Hunter Valley climate.
2. Damaged or Dead Branches
Tip: Inspect trees and shrubs regularly for signs of dead or damaged branches, such as discoloration or brittleness. Removing these branches prevents potential hazards and allows the plant to allocate resources to healthy growth.
How Fluro Gardens Can Help: Our professionals are trained to safely remove dead or damaged branches, enhancing the safety and appearance of your garden. We assess each plant's condition to determine the best course of action.
3. Dense or Overcrowded Plantings
Tip: Thinning overcrowded areas improves air circulation and sunlight penetration, essential for plant health. Consider the mature size of plants when spacing them to prevent future overcrowding.
How Fluro Gardens Can Help: We evaluate your garden's layout and implement strategic thinning and spacing to ensure each plant thrives. Our knowledge of local plant species allows us to make informed decisions for your garden's long-term health.
4. Decline in Flower or Fruit Production
