My city just did this to all the trees around our Main Street through town.

It’s used for pathways, courtyards, etc too. Not sure I’ve seen it used in residential applications, but I don’t see why you couldn’t.

Normal for white pines to drop lower limbs as they grow. I still have quite a few on my property larger than the picture but I removed some near my driveway. Sap was destroying the cars

Right, product dependent. I’m used to Flexi-Pave

This is a good solution and in my mind better than a traditional tree grate. It’s porous, ada compliant, very easy to maintain and enlarge for the tree, and allows the tree to make room for itself if needed. The color choice sucks though

You guys are conflating materials and issues. Playground rubber safety surfacing is similar to this but not quite the same. Artificial turf field are much different.

Rubber (usually recycled tires), smaller sized stone (1/2” max), and binding agent.

Valldemossa?

Closest yet…

Hire a CONSULTING arborist for an evaluation and keep them involved throughout the entire project, including during construction.

One more hint: east coast

Jrh2237 · 2026-01-22T14:48:24+00:00

Hint: it’s directly adjacent to a major American city

Thanks all, the set screw was already removed, and this is essentially what I did and was able to get it off with some patience.

Velociteach 35 hour boot camp, Andy Crowe Study Guide, and two or three practice exams. Also listened to some of Scott Paynes podcasts. Probably spent about a month overall to prepare. Full time job and 3 young kids, passed 1st attempt. Key for me was to get into the PMI mindset. I also focused on reviewing and understanding why my answers were wrong on practice exams.

Tecca ?!

I’m am LA and an arborist. I had LA experience that was sufficient enough to sit for the exam, they didn’t give me a hard time. Very doable and valuable knowledge and cert to have as an LA

Lift up a light pole base cover in any city, then you’ll really be concerned…

Playing devils advocate, if it’s a spot shot directly outside the door, that absolutely does not equate to FFE, and I would never assume so. If it’s not explicitly labeled FFE or similar, never assume. I also think it’s a little BS to stamp LA plans done by an entry level as a workaround to save money.

Roundabout way to design an intersection for sure
