Mulching

Mulches are used for various agricultural and gardening purposes. They are applied on the surface of the soil and perform multiple functions, such as providing practical conservation of soil and water, protection of plants and in providing an attractive aesthetic landscaping effect.

Properly used, they benefit plant growth and minimize garden labour. The main functions of mulches are the conservation of soil moisture, the prevention of soil degradation and the moderation of soil temperature
Mulch Works All Year Long

During spring and autumn, mulches moderate internal soil temperatures by retaining heat from the day and radiating it to the soil at night.
In the winter, mulches moderate soil waming during the day, limiting the stress plants undergo during soil freezing and thawing cycles. They also are used to prevent frost damage of unestablished plants

During summer months, they keep soil cool by blocking direct sunlight exposure of the soil surface.

Mulches also help control the growth of w**ds, blocking sunlight and smothering w**d seedlings under layers of material. Mulch reflects sunlight back from the ground to the leaves of plants. They also provide a clean and dry surface for ground-lying fruits

They prevent soil erosion from heavy rains, prevent surface run-off of water, and prevent the direct impact of hard rains on the soil surface. Some mulches improve soil texture, adding humus. Organic mulches may add nutrients to the soil as they break down. Biodegradable mulches as they decay, are incorporated into the soil where they provide air spaces and surfaces for fungal and root growth.

While mulching may improve the growth of various plants by directly manipulating the plant's environmnet, mulch can also improve growth as an effective means of pest control

Large tree removal

The removal of any trees, but especially larger trees and large tree heads, can be a hazardous business. The sheer mass of wood involved is often not appreicated when we live beside them for years, so one of the main things to think about when looking at removing a tree is safety.

There may be risks of electrocution in the case of felling a tree near power lines, fire, and personal and property damage, such as to fences or your neighbour's land. There are also regulations and insurance to consider.

So if you're looking for a chainsaw man, wood chipping or stump grinding, look no further, Tom O'Rourke in county Mayo is the best tree surgeon you can find!

Cherry pickers

A vital piece of equipment when trying to prune and manage trees is a cherry picker or work platform. This is named after old lifts that were used to pick cherries from tall trees, but nowadays we have much larger machines that can safely reach even the tops of the tallest trees. This is a great help when undertaking professional pruning like pollarding, espaliering and pleaching, and particularly removing high-growing dead branches, diseased growth and dying sprouts from the main trunk.

An experienced tree surgeon is needed to know the difference between damage, disease, and health in various different kinds of trees.

Once these have been removed, other branches might need to be taken down from the heights, as you don't want to be liable if an oversized branch splits off in a high wind and lands one someone or their property. This is especially true of long branches sticking far out at a height as the tree tries to absorb as much sunlight as it can.

Tom O'Rourke has some of the most sophisticated and highest-reaching cherry pickers, tree lifts and tree elevators in the country, enabling him to take down, shape and remove the riskiest outlying growth from even the tallest trees.

Everybody loves trees but these gentle giants need to be treated with respect and care in order to secure the safety of people nearby.
