Seattle Remove suckers at base
In Seattle, managing your garden and landscape can be a challenge, especially when it comes to dealing with tree suckers. Suckers are the unwanted shoots that grow from the base of your trees or shrubs, often robbing nutrients and water from the main plant. Removing these suckers not only enhances the appearance of your landscape but also contributes to the health and longevity of your plants. The good news is that with a little effort, you can tackle this issue effectively. The main benefits of removing suckers include improved curb appeal, enhanced safety, eco-friendliness, and reduced maintenance needs.
