If you have ever owned a pine tree, you will understand how frustrating it is to constantly see pine needles dropping onto your property. Pine trees, though beautiful, pose an annoyance to the average homeowner who wants a clean, low-maintenance yard. So, instead of throwing your hands up and saying forget it, here are a few ideas to help you to control your pine needles in Charlotte.
Don’t Trash, Recycle
Pine needles are great as mulch, and are highly acidic. Certain plants tend to enjoy these conditions. Research acidic loving plants such as roses and azaleas, and plant away; all while knowing that your yard will be recycling and you don’t have to rake all of the pine needles every week or so. Instead of trashing the needles, keep them there and sweep them into planters, or make a flower bed to help make your yard nice again.
Get Rid of the Problem
Many people are not fans of pine trees because of the pesky Pine Needles in Charlotte that can destroy any good landscaped yard. However, you can just simply get rid of the trees. Many people like to rip out the tree altogether, however many are opting to turn the tree into a stump and reuse it for seating, or for a large fairy house. With the rest of the tree, they get a fence or other wood products made out of it to recycle the material. You can also sell wood for a high price, and get rid of your pesky problem.
For those that do not want to get rid of the tree or who do not want to landscape with pine needles, then it would be suggested to get a needle net. It is a net that surrounds the tree and helps to catch the needles that fall. You can hire a removal service for a fee to get rid of your needles for you, for only a short time until they fall again. These services usually reuse the material, so you can recycle your pine needles. There are many different options instead of being frustrated with the recurring issues.
