Q: What is the fastest way to kill tree roots?

• <div><p>The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.</p></div>

Q: What is the best month to plant trees?

• <div><p>Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn&rsquo;t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.</p></div>

Q: Can trees come back after a drought?

• <div><p>Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you&rsquo;ll have to just wait and see&mdash;if the drought occurs in wintertime, it&rsquo;s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for tree roots to grow back in the sewer line?

• <div><p>It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.</p></div>

Q: Can you transplant all types of trees?

• <div><p>Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it&rsquo;s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.</p></div>
