Types of Garden Fencing and Tree Removal
If you yearn for your garden to look stunning and well maintained don't forget about fencing. A garden with good fencing provides the complete picture a wonderful aspect when looked at from a distance. Besides lending beautiful looks, fencing keeps the garden protected from any outside disturbance of people or animals.
Fencing provides added uses as well. It could be used to highlight a certain area of the garden. If you have sensitive plants in one part of the garden, you can use fencing to differentiate it from other parts of the garden. Fencing can also be used to separate a work or seating area. Another important benefit of fencing is that you can shelter you and your garden from public view. It gives much needed solitude.
Garden fencing is obtainable in many varieties of materials, shapes and colours. Let us remind ourselves more about some well-liked options you can use in your garden.
WROUGHT IRON FENCING
Wrought Iron fencing unquestionably gives a decorative and traditional appearance to the garden. This fencing arrives in different stunning styles. Wrought iron can be moulded into an assortment of ornamental shapes. This is the reason these fences are recognized as ornamental fences. The top of these fences can be pointed, round or any other shape. This kind of fence is good for stopping trespassers and it also needs less renovation. On the other hand, they are rather expensive.
WOODEN GARDEN FENCING
As it is moderately priced, wooden garden fencing is among the preferred varieties of fencing. It usually comes in the form of pre-construction panels or picket forms. This type of fencing is good for maintaining the privacy of your garden. However, there is one setback about it - you need to protect it from bugs and rot.
BAMBOO GARDEN FENCING
This is another familiar type of garden fencing. Bamboo fences are well-liked because neither are they costly nor do they necessitate much maintenance. They also add an creative touch to the garden and what is also important, they can be installed simply.
DRY STONE WALLING
If you have a large garden, you can put in large sized rocks to create dry stone walls. It gives a more natural look and can resist any kind of tough environment. Besides, it gives the surrounding area dignity and majesty.
ALUMINIUM FENCING
Rarely used in a domestic function, this kind of fencing also lends the fashionable looks to your garden. It can be in the form of horizontal rails and upright pickets. Before adding any garden fencing, you can seek advice from fence suppliers or installers for advice. They will study your home and garden. And they will give you proper advice considering your requirements.
Removing a Tree
Sometimes you need to get rid of a tree from the garden. Perhaps you have an aged tree that is unhealthy, an apple tree that does not produce apples, or a tree that is dead or in an annoying spot. Although it is tempting to give it a bit of chain saw action and fell it all in one go - resist! Take care and you will get the tree down safely and make life easy for you.
Now, before you begin, take note. Make sure that you are allowed to take the tree down. If you are not sure then you are going to need to ring your local council. Also, if the tree is over 20 ft or 6 metres in height, don't even think about it. Far too big and dangerous for an beginner. you will need a professional tree surgeon to deal with that. They will be able to speak to the council for you as well.
OK, so you're determined to go ahead yourself you will need some gear. Thick gardening gloves - ideally leather, rope, a chain saw, a pruning saw, a good ladder and safety glasses. You should really have a helmet but you probably will not bother. But for crying out loud wear your safety goggles. A wood chip in your eye is a real day spoiler.
1. Get your ladder and thread it among the branches to the top of the tree. Make sure that it is secure and then get a buddy to hold the base of it. If you do not have any friends - well that's the topic for another article. In that case, tie the ladder to the trunk of the tree so it will not fall or move when you are on it. I would spend some time making sure it's nice and tight if I were you. you will be untying and re-tying this ladder a lot during this exercise if you are on your own.
2. Begin cutting at the top of the tree. Use the pruning saw or the chain saw to cut branches into manageable lengths. Do not cut pieces that are too large and heavy to pick up comfortably. You don't need me to tell you that you are at the top of a ladder!
3. Shift the ladder around the tree as you work. This will mean getting down the ladder and tying and untying it if you're on your own. do not be tempted to stretch and reach for branches that are outside your reach. Get down that ladder. A lot of people have had very severe accidents with chainsaws. In fact, in August 2004 a man inadvertently cut off his wife's head with a chain saw. do not take chances.
4. Carry on cutting back the branches, but bear in mind to leave at least one main branch to prop up the ladder. Once you have removed most of the branches, use a shorter ladder or fold down the one you have so that it can stand on its own.
5. Move the stand alone ladder into place so that you can commence to cut down the trunk, bit by piece. Keep the pieces small to make disposal easier. Cut the tree to within 6" of the ground.
6. You will now be left with a stump. The easiest way to do away with a tree stump is to pay somebody else to do it! Lacking that, hire a stump grinder from an equipment and garden rental shop like HSS. This will make short work of a stump but it can be a messy and sweaty business. If you do not need to deal with the stump instantaneously, you can purchase a root killing product from a garden centre. Once applied to the stump it will work its way to the roots and kill the plant. It may need a few applications. Sooner or later your stump will rot, making it easier to get rid of.
7. Lastly, burn the branches and small logs or put them in the boot of the car and take them to the local recycling centre - where they'll probably burn them someplace else!
