Tree Crashes


It is unfortunate to notice that with the first showers every year, Trees begin to crash at an alarming rate. The reason being the roots have not been able to sink into the earth. What we need for every tree that is planted on the pavement or kerbs is to allow ample space around the trunk. This is pure earth, unpaved in any manner. Part of the rain water that flows into the drains, can be harvested within proximity of the tree. This will help the roots spread as it travels in search of water. Spread of roots means it has a firm grip on the earth and will not easily yield to the slightest wind.
