Should I cut down a dead tree?

• <div><p>Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes. </p></div>

Can a tree grow back from a stump?

• <div><p>A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stop-tree-stump-sprouts.htm">send up a number of shoots from the dead stump</a>, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.</p></div>

Can I remove a stump myself?

• <div><p>It is possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-removal.htm">remove a stump yourself</a>, but it’s an extremely labor-intensive job and often requires special equipment that is expensive to rent. Instead, you could pay a stump removal professional <b>$200</b>, while you’d pay around the same price to rent a stump grinder for the day. Stump removal also takes DIYers hours in most cases, so paying for a specialized company to remove it quickly and accurately is almost always worth it. </p></div>

Q: What do I do if my neighbor is complaining about dead trees?

• <div><p>Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That&rsquo;s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don&rsquo;t pose any threat, you&rsquo;re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).</p><p>But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor&rsquo;s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it&rsquo;s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to grind stumps or remove them?

• <div><p>Whether it's better to grind or remove a stump depends on your professional tree service&rsquo;s advice and what you intend for the landscape to look like after removal. Grinding is faster and likely more affordable, but manual removal unearths the root system and leaves the potential for a clean slate for landscape design. </p></div>

Oh my goodness, David is the best. Him and his crew came in removed the hugest old trees. You can't tell the were even here in my yard. As a matter of fact my yard was cleaner when they left. If there were more stars 🌟 I'd click on all of them. Very reasonably rates. Give David a call.
