Tree Talk with Beaver Tree Service

Beaver Tree Services

Tree pruning is both an art and a science. An arborist’s job is to assess a tree on its individual merit and determine what approach is needed. An arborist can improve the aesthetics of a tree, and also make it safe and manageable.

The science behind tree pruning draws on knowledge, experience, and expertise to ensure that tree health remains a top priority. Every tree needs to be pruned differently; you wouldn’t prune a Maple in the same way as you would an Oak.

Consulting an arborist or tree surgeon and investing in your trees can add value to your property, prolong the life of your trees and help create the garden you aspire to have.

Secure your homes over summer

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.

Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
“Burglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.”

Inspector Barnaby says there’s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
⚠️ If you’re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
⚠️ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
⚠️ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if you’re going away and look out for one another.”

If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.
