Q: Can a tree grow back from a stump?

• <div><p>A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stop-tree-stump-sprouts.htm">send up a number of shoots from the dead stump</a>, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.</p></div>

Q: Can you plant a tree where a stump was removed?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-plant-tree-where-stump-removed%E2%80%8B.htm">whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed</a>, know that the soil conditions won&rsquo;t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It&rsquo;s best to choose a different spot that&rsquo;s at least<b> three feet away</b> for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant. </p></div>

Q: How much does tree removal cost?

• <div><p>The average cost of tree removal is <b>$750</b>, though prices can range from $200 to $2,000, depending on factors like the tree&rsquo;s size and species. Some species, such as aspen or pine, have complex root systems that can drive up the cost of removal. Aside from planting the tree itself, you&rsquo;ll see additional costs from obtaining a permit, cleaning up the area, and removing debris. Additionally, plan to budget an extra $100 to $150 for stump removal.</p></div>

Q: Can forestry mulching grind stumps?

• <div><p>Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.</p></div>

Q: Can I cut down a tree myself?

• <div><p>If the tree is very small&mdash;under 4 or 5 inches in diameter&mdash;and you&rsquo;re experienced handling a chainsaw, you may be able to cut down the tree on your own, provided there&rsquo;s plenty of room for it to fall. </p><p>However, felling even small trees can be dangerous, and it&rsquo;s always advisable to have a spotter on hand. This will help make sure the tree doesn&rsquo;t fall the wrong way or that branches aren&rsquo;t about to fall on you while you&rsquo;re working. </p></div>
