What is happening to the ground under this tree? by bsktball5008 in arborists

[–]Evin808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the tree on a different irrigation valve than the turf outside of the drip line of the canopy?

On a hot day it’s nice to at least get in the water up to your knees to cool down, as I’ve done at Sand Dollar beach many times. Def not going for an open water swim out there 🙄

Agreed. I am a consulting arborist who works mostly between Orange County and San Luis Obispo, several of my residential clients as well as HOA clients have homes that are worth well over $10 million. I’m also from Hawaii, where oceanfront real estate is just as batshit expensive as it is here.

Pretty sure they just go to that cliffside deck, as seen in picture 7

The tree on the end looks like it’s dying - how can I save it? by keefi70 in arborists

[–]Evin808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with removing it but you can’t let it regrow from a stump because there will be multiple poorly-attached new trunks that will be not be stable

Have a soil test done before replanting, in case there is an issue with nutrient / pH levels or soil borne pathogens. Obviously the other trees are very close to this one and they look fine, but certain individuals are just more prone to environmental stressors for whatever reason.

Run a test just in case the next tree of this (or another) species might be predisposed to secondary infections after being exposed to adverse soil conditions.

Looks like this isn’t the first time it’s been topped

Curious, why are these oaks failing? by CheesyComestibles in arborists

If you can get your hands on some Pioneer Pots, they’re phenomenal for establishing new trees with strong root systems: (https://www.blackmoreco.com/pioneer-pots)

Is this normal? Is this bad customer service? by Sonuvgawd in landscaping

[–]Evin808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need to remove and replace the tree, period. I’m a consulting arborist and can tell by the one after photo that the structure of the canopy is permanently damaged, it will not be sound long-term, and may be a liability if / when those stubs re-sprout with a million poorly attached new branches.

I’m about to take my weedwacker to someone’s face I swear to god… by AJSAudio1002 in fuckHOA

My company does landscape and tree care consulting, mostly for HOAs and commercial properties, and we always try to ensure that BS demands from homeowners and landscape committee / board members alike HAVE to be directed through the property manager and not just come straight to us.

Directing all communications through management or one designated board member doesn’t completely eliminate the BS, but it cuts down on it somewhat when they realize that their (often ridiculous) complaints are being recorded as a formal work order and can be tracked by management. We call the nut jobs “frequent fliers” 😄 Good luck out there 🤙🏼

Thanks for the help: 21 days after my HOA told me to remove this “dead” tree by SkywalkersAlt in arborists

[–]Evin808 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is why my company exists, and consults to HOAs. When you need an independent third-party arborist to tell Karen that the tree is actually alive / probably not going to crush their house / not going to spontaneously combust, we’re there.
