Earthworks in Pie Creek

A tree should be removed if it is dead, diseased, or poses a safety hazard to nearby structures, pathways, or powerlines. Trees with large cracks, significant lean, or extensive root damage are also potential risks. Removal is often necessary to prevent damage during storms or high winds. Always check local regulations as permits may be required before removing certain trees to ensure compliance with environmental laws.

Plants are chosen based on the local climate, soil type, and the overall design of the landscaping project. Native species are often preferred as they are better adapted to the environment and require less maintenance. Consideration is also given to the purpose of the plants, such as ground cover, shade, or ornamental features, as well as their water needs and compatibility with surrounding elements.

Sustainable landscaping focuses on eco-friendly practices that minimise environmental impact while creating functional and beautiful outdoor spaces. It involves using native plants, efficient irrigation systems, and soil improvement techniques to reduce water consumption and chemical use. Sustainable landscaping also promotes biodiversity and supports local ecosystems, ensuring a balanced and environmentally responsible approach to outdoor design and maintenance.
