Will a tree survive if transplanted?

• <div><p>If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around <b>11 inches</b>. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.</p></div>

What if a neighbor’s tree is blocking my view?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, most of the time you’re out of luck if a neighbor’s tree blocks your view. You don’t have a right to a view, so if you have a tree that’s near the property line but on your neighbor’s property, you can’t cut it to be able to take in a majestic mountain or a beautiful sunrise. In some communities, however, there are ordinances protecting scenic views. Checking into your local laws can help you determine your rights in this situation.</p></div>

What method can I use instead of tree topping?

• <div><p>A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree. </p></div>

Q: What if a neighbor’s tree is blocking my view?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, most of the time you&rsquo;re out of luck if a neighbor&rsquo;s tree blocks your view. You don&rsquo;t have a right to a view, so if you have a tree that&rsquo;s near the property line but on your neighbor&rsquo;s property, you can&rsquo;t cut it to be able to take in a majestic mountain or a beautiful sunrise. In some communities, however, there are ordinances protecting scenic views. Checking into your local laws can help you determine your rights in this situation.</p></div>

Q: What will make tree stumps rot faster?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re looking to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-rot-tree-stump.htm">rot a tree stump fast</a>, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place. </p></div>

Q: Should I coat the cut branches on a topped tree?

• <div><p>You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn&rsquo;t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree&rsquo;s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-common-tree-diseases.htm">oak wilt</a>. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.</p></div>

"Kevin is a skilled professional. He performed extensive tree removal and trimming on an extremely overgrown property. But that was not all. He also installed and repaired the property's fence, which had extensive damage from years of tree limbs falling on it. Additionally, he skillfully cleaned up and restored the neglected lawn. This past winter, he provided snow removal services in a timely and thorough manner. Honestly, I haven't found a project that Kevin can't handle. And I look forward to employing his expertise this summer and beyond. Above all else, Kevin is honest and fair, and he goes to any length necessary to get the job done."
