Design Elements
with landscape Designer Louise McDaid
When you look at your garden, can
you see the wood for the trees?
Have the trees and shrubs taken
over?
This problem seem to sneak up on us,
and before we know it, there’s too much shade, and you’ve lost a lot niceness
about your garden that you started with.
But before you get out those loppers
yourself, take a step back and listen to this.
Before you go out into the garden,
remember lopping big branches is really a job for the experts.
The branch is always heavier than
you thought it was, and has a habit of falling in a different direction to what
you had planned.
Not to mention that getting up
ladders with loppers and side cutters is quite dangerous.
