We extended a rooting area of a redwood today. I didn't have much space to play with regarding being able to build the ground level up. So I went for clean sand and washed crushed stone with the idea of the sand being porous but able to be compressed over the rooting area and the a layer of stone to bind the top layer. Not done anything like this before so I'm keen to know if and what I could of done differently should I be asked in the future.

A sweet chestnut at home that died for no obvious reason..
And a dying sycamore near to a newly built house.. was probably only 2 inches either side of good wood.
Both easy jobs but good practice.8b904ffe57c3c8d4fe2b776655ef7362.jpg660079084411bbad7d3f0f9a55b3b397.jpgb729f43ed7c5664f9aad21724c1d9a01.jpg

Horse chestnut (which was pretty much upright 30 years ago) with progressive lean over pond. Recent shear crack, dropped a bit more. Reduced to mitigate the failure, good for another 10 years, will bush out again. Provides good shade for the fishies. Dragged out all the timber and brash with a pull line, pulley & landrover.
