Q: Is it bad to cut down trees?

• <div><p>Unless it&rsquo;s dead or dangerous, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-reasons-you-shouldnt-cut-down-tree.htm">think twice about cutting down a tree</a> in your yard. They&rsquo;re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment. Plus, local authorities often have regulations prohibiting the removal of trees, especially protected species or individual trees with historical value.</p></div>

Q: Does boiling water kill tree roots?

• <div><p>While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.</p></div>

Q: Can you plant a tree over a gas line?

• <div><p>No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. </p></div>

Q: How do you tell which way a tree will fall?

• <div><p>The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. </p></div>

Q: How far down can tree roots go?

• <div><p>The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.</p></div>
