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>

Q: When do dead trees fall over?

• <div><p>If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.</p></div>

Q: How does stump removal impact soil health?

• <div><p>Professionals ensure minimal disturbance and can enhance the soil with treatment where the stump was located.</p></div>

Q: What is the most affordable way to get rid of a tree stump?

• <div><p>Probably the most cost-efficient way to remove a tree stump is to use Epsom salts, which help accelerate the rotting process making it easier to remove by hand once nature has taken its course. Burning a tree stump doesn&rsquo;t tend to cost much either, but is a riskier DIY method. </p></div>
