My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Trunk trouble on maple

13 years ago

Third post on this troubled tree. 2.5" B&B three years ago. Slow grow, small leaves, thin canopy. Dug up, no girdling. But, cracked and peeling bark at ground level. Black underneath. No bugs. Here are pics. Any diagnoses?
