Leaf Removal questions, answered by experts

If major support roots are cut, the tree may become unstable. Many are located just below the soil’s surface. Even cutting roots that are less than one-half inch under or outside the edge of a tree’s canopy can cut off its water, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

Stumps are difficult to burn due to their dense wood and high moisture content. The dense wood and moisture slow down the burning process, requiring sustained high temperatures over an extended period. Since the wood is damp, this hinders the heat generation needed to keep the fire burning, causing it to frequently go out.

While plants and trees can grow in tree stumps in nature, it is not recommended in your yard. This is due to soil composition, the possibility of pests and disease, a lack of space for rooting, and moisture availability for the new tree. Instead, hire a stump removal or grinding service to remove it and start fresh in the space.

Trees are beneficial to the environment and wildlife. If you have an old tree, but it’s healthy, it may be best to avoid cutting it down. However, if it’s showing signs of bug infestation, disease, or is potentially hazardous, then you should contact a tree removal company to cut it down. 

If you are unsure whether you should have it removed or not, then speak with an arborist to determine what is best.

If you’re hiring a company to perform stump grinding—or any home service for that matter—you’ll want them to at least have general liability insurance and worker’s compensation insurance. This type of coverage protects both you and the business in the case of any accidents. Professional liability insurance and inland marine insurance plans are also important for tree companies to have. Ask any pro you’re considering hiring about licenses and insurance coverage before booking the job.
