Q: Is it OK to leave tree roots in the ground?

• <div><p>In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.</p></div>

Q: How long does commercial tree trimming take?

• <div><p>Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.</p></div>

Q: Do I have to remove a tree stump?

• <div><p>Unless there&rsquo;s some sort of rule in your community&rsquo;s homeowners&rsquo; association that requires you to remove a stump, there&rsquo;s no law that says you have to take it out. If you&rsquo;re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-ideas-your-yard.htm">get creative with this tree remnant</a>. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump. </p></div>

Q: How do you hollow out a tree stump?

While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.</p></div>

Q: Am I responsible if a dead tree falls on power lines?

• <div><p>Homeowners are usually not responsible for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/if-tree-falls-power-line-who-responsible.htm">trees that fall on power lines</a>. Power companies usually have utility easements around power lines, which give them the responsibility to maintain any trees within about 15 to 20 feet of the lines.</p></div>

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.
Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.
Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

Homeowners are usually not responsible for trees that fall on power lines. Power companies usually have utility easements around power lines, which give them the responsibility to maintain any trees within about 15 to 20 feet of the lines.
