Q: Can I do this myself?

• <div><p>Phone jack installation can be a complicated project that requires cutting holes into just the right location in the wall and running delicate wiring. This sort of job is best left to the professionals. </p></div>

Q: Will a trencher grind stumps?

• <div><p>A trencher can grind stumps, but it will take a lot longer and be less effective than dedicated stump grinding tools. Rather than using a trencher to grind stumps, since trenchers work best at digging in soil, use a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/things-to-know-about-stump-grinding.htm">stump grinder</a>. This aptly named tool has blades that spin to break down a tree stump quickly and leave the roots behind to naturally decay. You can also use shears, a hatchet, a reciprocating saw, or other root removal techniques to finish the job.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to cut down a tree?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll pay between <b>$200 and $2,000</b> to hire a tree removal professional to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-tree-removal-cost.htm">cut down and remove a tree</a>. The price difference depends on the size of the tree, its location and health, and any complexities that will affect removal, like a tricky location or proximity to your home.</p></div>

Q: Are palm tree stumps hard to remove?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. </p><p>If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you&rsquo;ll have to dig quite deep&mdash;and perhaps wide&mdash;to trim away all the roots.</p></div>

Q: When is the cheapest time of year to have a tree cut down?

• <div><p>Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cheapest-time-tree-removal.htm">cheapest time of year to remove a tree</a> is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.</p></div>
