    Are Loggers Making 3 Times More Money Now That Lumbers Prices Have Tripled?

    Thank you, great information. I can understand that starting a new ammo manufacturing plant would be full of red tape, but what stops people from starting new lumber mills? Do you think new mills will pop up with prices this high?

    Are Loggers Making 3 Times More Money Now That Lumbers Prices Have Tripled?

    I've been watching lumber prices over the past year and I'm trying to figure out where the price increases are coming from. Some people say that Covid restrictions made mills run at lower capacity, especially the places the pressure treat lumber. Others have said that mills are simply holding...

    Opening a tree service business

    Nothing I'd like less than if someone moved into my neighborhood and pointed out expenses to me. Maybe if it's a safety issue that might harm your neighbor and you really want to be neighborly, offer to do the work for free. But even then it puts the neighbor in the position of trusting you...

    whadja do today?

    He came off pretty negative in the posts I saw when I logged in, but he apologized later in the thread to the person he addressed. Maybe he doesn't use social media much?

    Walnut stump

    Just a few tiny stone inclusions here and there would quickly ruin the chain, often you can't see them. Did you see sparks while cutting?

    Japanese maple

    Please see this thread: https://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/advice-for-selling-japanese-maple.334690/ Most gently, anyone who can handle trees this size already has their own trees to sell.

    What if a tree needs to be removed, will my property be protected?

    Sounds like someone hired a very cheap Internet advertising company to "improve your ranking" - "guaranteed top spot on Google!"

    How Reliable Is Your Tree Stump Grinder?

    How are you so consistently off topic but on subject in your replies? Is this someone's computer program? The man asked about stump grinder reliability and you talk about stump grinding prices. Another man asks about bucket truck mechanical problems and you talk about using a GPS and low bridges...

    Tree ID help please

    Agree, the white milky sap around the fresh cut is indicative to me.

    No mulch, either - anymore at least.

    400 Year Old Bur Oak

    Vandalizing an old tree, infuriating.

    The fact that you see this behavior everywhere you go might be a clue.

    I'd have no problem with his post if he had left out the "I know, I know the best way is to call a professional. I’m not going to take the call a professional route." It's presumptive. Just ask and let the people who have experience answer.

    Please help identifying these Paulownia species

    What an incredible difference between the trees. I don't see it commercially available from a quick search where I am - lots of states have it banned or listed as an invasive species. Search "paulownia root cuttings propagation" and you will find articles about harvesting roots (from the good...

    Alternative to bleach for sterilizing

    The thing I don't like about hydrogen peroxide is that it breaks down quickly, 30-45 days of peak effectiveness once opened from what I've read and that's just commonly available 3% concentration. If I'm storing something in a hot work truck, I want it to be stable. I personally use Lysol for my...

    "Want to go with a STIHL. Budget for that is $1500.00 and under." Really gives the joke away there. Just starting with an MS660 with a 36" bar or something like that.

    Complete tree removal including stump

    So you want to ask a professional for advice, but ignore all the professional advice you get except for what you want to hear. This is a common rudeness. At least have the attitude about you to take your lumps as most of the people here tell you to call a professional instead of defining for the...

    Cutting Surface Roots?

    River rock as a mulch can end up bring a lot of heat to tree roots if sunlight is directly reaching the rock, especially darker colors. The rock heats up similar to pavement vs wood mulch which is an insulator even when dry and is more likely to have some moisture about it than rock. I'd like to...
