Q: Can stump grinding be bundled with tree removal?

• <div><p>A standard tree removal doesn&rsquo;t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you&rsquo;ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service&mdash;especially if it&rsquo;s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip. </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>

Q: What are the disadvantages of stump grinding?

• <div><p>The main disadvantage of stump grinding is that it requires use of heavy and dangerous machinery, meaning you should hire a professional to tackle it, increasing the removal cost. Another drawback of stump grinding is that it can cause root decay in the root system left behind. The remaining wood may develop this type of decay, making it difficult to replant a new tree or plant in that spot in the future.</p></div>

Q: Can I take down a tree myself?

• <div><p>It is possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-cut-down-tree.htm">cut down a tree</a> on your property yourself, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. If the tree is short enough to easily reach the top branches, and the tree is far from power lines or structures, consider renting a chainsaw and removing it yourself. Trees that are larger than that, close to electrical lines, or close to fences, homes, sheds, or other structures should only ever be removed by professionals. Not only is the work dangerous, but you could damage structures on your property in the process.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there&rsquo;s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.</p></div>
