In the third year of developing our Japanese garden, I began planning my trees. Naturally, I turned my attention to Japanese maples.

He brushed stump-and-brush killer on each cut end so the tree wouldn't sprout again. Now Delp just adds the birdhouses. Two of the birdhouses were in the yard when she and David bought the house.

Trees that are leaning. It’s not unusual for some trees to grow crooked, but a tree that has suddenly begun to lean is trouble – especially if the roots are now exposed.

I have multiple roots from a live oak running along my front yard. I would like to grind them down with a wood carver disc, so the bottom deck and blade of my rider mower do not get torn up.
