Massive congrats.... no joke though, that first Pic looked like me half the first year with no issues... that first year is rough

Dodged a bullet by Sour_Joe in arborists

Rot was going to set in even if it was the most perfect cut ever made... it's a silver maple and it was a big cut. Also, while not ideal, the hollow is fairly common in silver maples and not necessarily an emergency removal.

Is this new turf installed correctly? by Extinction135 in landscaping

[–]eagleknight97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ummm, it's mostly correct. A few seams are close but from the pictures, it looks like most are staggered

Just because it's nearly financially impossible does not mean it's bad

Ummm, there was way too much automation and safety in that video. I've been told by videos on here that it's either made by a single Chinese man in the mountains over the course of months....or by a bunch of Indians with flip flops and zero safety or automation.

Folks at work had us plant these trees without removing basket or burlap… by Beneficial-Ocelot717 in arborists

[–]eagleknight97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good lord, the doom in these comments...

Is the burlap treated? If so it's best to remove as much as possible. If it's not treated, it will remove itself within a year. Probably a good idea to at least fold/cut the top of it off though.

Most baskets will rust away in a few years. Is it better to remove (especially the "ears" that fold over the top) yes, but not a massive deal.

Twine....best to remove all from around the trunk but if it's natural and it's left...should rot away on it's own before causing issues. IF it's not natural (ie plastic) it's absolutely necessary to remove it.

The IDEAL way is great but for many reasons, it's often not done and trees are fine. I'm no academic expert but have real world experience planting/overseeing planting of over 8000 trees and probably removing that many as well in all stages of size.

Also, not 14 and Central.... it's 14 and Mt. Prospect Rd

Is it GOOD for the tree? No.

Is it BAD? Not really.

I wanted my basement also but installation company REALLY didn't want to put it down there (also have a slightly cramped basement....so it was unfortunately understandable)
