Q: How long does it take to chemically rot tree stumps?

• <div><p>Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)</p></div>

Q: Should I remove a tree close to my house?

• <div><p>A tree growing close to a house can cause problems, but cutting it down isn&rsquo;t always the best solution. Trees planted close to your home could damage your foundation as their roots grow. In addition, they can drop large branches on your house, make it easier for critters and insects to access your home, and encourage mold growth. But if the tree has been there for a long time, it may not pose a risk to your foundation, and it could be more beneficial&mdash;not to mention cheaper&mdash;to strategically trim it instead. Your best bet is to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-call-arborist-save-tree.htm">consult an arborist</a> for advice.</p></div>

Q: How much does commercial tree removal cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $500 to $5,000 per tree, depending on size, location, and accessibility.</p></div>

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: Is it OK to leave the tree stump?

• <div><p>Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.</p></div>

I hired Les to demolish an old junk-filled garage and everything went smoothly. He was very prompt with his communication and everything was done exactly as expected. I was impressed with how clean they left everything. I highly recommend choosing Les Is More Junk Removal.

They are great, and we have referred him to several people. I think they are fair on price. The price is different when they do the garden care and they also do our snow removal. The price depends on what is being done. They keep their own schedule, and I don't care, I just want it done.

I had made a rookie mistake by tying to perform what appeared to be a simple task, remove and sharpen my lawn mower blade. Of course, I did not bother to look up and read the owner's manual, so after removing the blade, sharpening it and putting it back on, the mower was hard to start, and when...

In the beginning things went reasonably well. I have a very leafy yard and H and H did a decent job collecting them and bagging them in 2011. I then used them to take care of the mowing the next summer. They came periodically and without notice and did an ok job. Most of our communication...
