How long does it take to kill tree roots?

• <div><p>Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea. </p></div>

Q: What are the risks of attempting to remove a large tree without professional help?

• <div><p>DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.</p></div>

Q: Do arborists need to be licensed?

• <div><p>Licensing requirements for arborists vary by state and municipality, so you should use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a> to see if your arborist needs a license. Even if an arborist license isn&rsquo;t mandated in your area, it&rsquo;s a good idea to hire one that has at least a business license, business insurance, and certification from a third-party organization, like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA). Licensed arborists tend to have more experience and are more likely to provide a professional solution to your tree problem.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a reputable tree surgeon?

• <div><p>You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">professionals who hold the proper licensing</a> and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don&rsquo;t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell the difference between hard maple and soft maple?

• <div><p>You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.</p><p>If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.</p></div>

The crew did excellent work but more importantly they exhibited good ethics and customer service dedication. As a small business owner myself, I was able to empathize with some events that occurred and was impressed by how they handled them with me.
