Does a tree removal company need to be insured?

• <div><p>Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company is properly insured before proceeding with hiring them for the job. Look for a tree service company with both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance to protect you and your home from potential damages. Do not hire a tree removal company that cannot provide proof of insurance.</p></div>

Can a stump attract termites?

• <div><p>Yes, stumps can and will attract termites. They seek the shelter and food a stump provides. Once the termites find the stump, it’s possible they can spread destruction to nearby trees and homes. For this reason and many others, you’ll want to seriously consider removing any stumps in your yard.</p></div>

Do tree roots regrow if cut?

• <div><p>Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stop-tree-roots-growing-back.htm">how to get rid of regrowing tree roots</a> is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional. </p></div>

How long can a dead tree remain?

• <div><p>Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later. </p></div>

Leaf Removal questions, answered by experts

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but we don’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.

Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company is properly insured before proceeding with hiring them for the job. Look for a tree service company with both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance to protect you and your home from potential damages. Do not hire a tree removal company that cannot provide proof of insurance.
