I have a small orchard in my backyard that requires seasonal maintenance. I'm looking for someone to prune apple and pear trees, thin fruit, check for pests, and tidy up fallen branches. Additionally, I’d appreciate advice on improving soil health and preventing root rot. Please bring your own sharp pruning tools and a ladder if needed. I prefer someone with experience in small-scale orchard management and can work around my weekend schedule. Ideally, the work would start soon and be completed within a couple of days depending on weather.
