Planting trees and shrubs.
Autumn is a good time for planting trees and shrubs. Watch the video how to plant a sapling with a rootball.
What should be taken into account when choosing saplings so that the plants grow well. Brief overview of the standard “Woody plants in greenery 939-2:2020” part 2: “Sapling quality requirements and planting”.

Shaking off snow from branches obstructing traffic.
Watch the video below to see how easy it is to get tree branches back to the right height. Why not go outside with the children to have fun and shake the snow off the branches! In this way, you can also prevent the risk of branches breaking due to the wet and heavy snow associated with thawed weather.
If the removal of branches is still unavoidable, we recommend consulting an arborist in advance – unskilled branch cutting causes damage to the tree and can make the tree dangerous! You can find the contacts of the nearest arborist at https://eestiarboristid.ee/leia-arborist/.
