Q: What signs does a tree show if it’s been struck by lightning?

• <div><p>After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It&rsquo;s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take Epsom salt to kill a tree stump?

• <div><p>Using Epsom salt to kill a tree stump will take between <b>six and 12 months</b>. While this method may seem extended, it significantly speeds up the natural stump decomposition process, which can take up to seven years. If you&rsquo;d like to DIY remove a tree stump and it&rsquo;s not causing any immediate harm or danger, using Epsom salt to kill it slowly is a viable removal option. </p></div>

Q: Can I trim or remove trees and shrubs myself?

• <div><p>DIY pruning is possible for small shrubs with basic tools, but safety concerns recommend professionals for larger or more hazardous removals.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take a tree to heal from being broken?

• <div><p>Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.</p></div>

Q: Is tree topping a good technique?

• <div><p>Generally, no, tree topping isn&rsquo;t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it&rsquo;s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it. </p></div>

"I had an addition I wanted for our home. We were required to have a survey and an engineer drawing to apply for the permit. I had a list of 10-15 local engineering companies given to me by the permitting office. Very few would return my call. several the rest said they only do commercial or that this was too small of a job and would cost more. It was taking months and I was frustrated and decided to try Angie’s. I am so pleased. I had a response that very day I inquired for the job. It was clear what was needed from me. Great communication and answered questions to help me get them what they needed. The project from start to finish was drafted within 3 weeks. It could have been done sooner but I was traveling and not able to check emails. Once I told them to text me to alert me of an email they did that. I would highly recommend them."
