The challenge is that trees move and houses don’t. So to build a treehouse we get into it with Caleb White, owner of New Leaf Treehouse Company and talk details on dialing in a treehouse design that won’t keep you up at night worried it’ll shake itself apart in a storm. We also get into cool tools and why ropes are better than ladders when you get up in the branches.

A certified arborist, Caleb also jams on how to spot a sick or dying tree and the things that make them potential dangers that you wouldn’t necessarily think of. Dead branches aren’t necessarily a sign of a tree in decline. And we talk planting. Bark mulch, root flares and other geeky stuff you’ll love for your landscape.

Even though Ive seen it a trillion times Im in the camp that mulching too high around a trees root flare makes the tree a little unhappy
