If a homeowner is an avid birdwatcher and would like to enjoy spending time outdoors viewing birds as they flock to small fruit trees, trimming the trees branches, hanging bird feeders and arranging patio furniture nearby will provide a favorable area for birds to gather while an individual watches. The following landscaping in Arlington steps describe how to make some changes with several basic landscaping tools.
Materials
* stepladder
* garden shears
* rake
* lawn mower
* bird feeder
* bird seed
* canvas tarp
* measuring tape
* patio furniture
* binoculars
Trim Branches And Hang Feeders
Fruit trees need to be visually inspected to determine if any branches are damaged and need to be trimmed. If so, a stepladder can be placed next to each tree so that branches are within reach. A pair of garden shears can be used to remove the end of each damaged branch. The same length should be removed from branches so that each tree has a symmetrical shape. After raking the ground to remove branches and leaves, a lawn mover can be used to cut grass the is growing around each tree. Bird feeders can be secured to branches on each tree. Bird seed needs to be poured into each feeder’s tray or tube.
Erect A Canopy And Set Up Furniture
A canvas canopy that is made out of material that is UV resistant will provide protection from the sun’s rays. After choosing a level part of a yard that is several feet away from fruit trees, a measuring tape can be used to determine how large a canopy needs to be. Metal or wood stakes may be secured to a canopy and will need to be pressed several inches into the ground to stabilize a canopy. Patio furniture can be arranged underneath a canopy.
A lounge chair, standard chairs and small table will provide plenty of space to sit down and relax while watching birds as they gather food from bird feeders. A table can be used to hold beverages, a phone or any other item that an individual may need while outdoors. Viewing birds through binoculars will help someone identify specific varieties of birds that visit a yard.
