    Silt fencing and tree roots

    I'm encountering silt fencing regularly. It is spec'd to be buried in a 4-6-inch furrow in the ground, which gets into tree roots. Apparently it's a federal regulation. Anyone have experience with this conflict?

    Push notification for ANSI A300 and Z133 updates

    I got surprised by the 2020 root management update and the 2019 trees during construction update. TBH, I have no way of knowing when these are updated. What's up? What do you all do to stay current? Is there a push notification system that tells us when the new ones come out, and where do I...
