    Help! What is wrong with my tree?

    We bought this house a year ago and my tree looked like this. We found Japanese beetles and started spraying for them last year. We will continue this year. Is that what caused this? Can I bring this tree back?

    Just started working on chainsaws and at first glance they look similar but started to do a rebuild and it's not the case. Different coil and cylinder to start so I thought I would try to find out what parts are interchangeable between the two. Like I said this is only my fifth rebuild so I...

    Street Tree Surrounds

    Anyone have experience with municipal street tree surrounds like the porous flexible material or wane 3000? I can't really find anything about the wane, but it looks like it might actually help with sidewalk root lifting. Any advice is appreciated.
