Should I cut down a dead palm tree?

• <div><p>Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:</p><ul><li><p>The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.</p></li><li><p>The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.</p></li><li><p>The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Is it safe to use salt to kill a tree stump?

• <div><p>No. Rock salt and similar concoctions use sodium chloride. It may be great sprinkled on your roasted potatoes, but plants don&rsquo;t like it at all and in large amounts it will poison the soil. So while standard salt will dry out a tree, it will kill everything else nearby and cause other problems. The confusion is due to the word &ldquo;salt&rdquo; being an old catch-term for any dry chemical mixture.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of stump grinding?

• <div><p>The main disadvantage of stump grinding is that it requires use of heavy and dangerous machinery, meaning you should hire a professional to tackle it, increasing the removal cost. Another drawback of stump grinding is that it can cause root decay in the root system left behind. The remaining wood may develop this type of decay, making it difficult to replant a new tree or plant in that spot in the future.</p></div>

Q: Does vinegar kill tree roots?

• <div><p>Using vinegar to kill tree roots is just one of the clever ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-ways-use-vinegar.htm">use vinegar around the house</a>. The method works best when you apply vinegar as directly to the root system as possible. For example, if the old tree roots and stump are currently exposed, drill holes in the tops of the roots and pour undiluted white vinegar into the holes to soak into the plant. Remember that vinegar can kill the surrounding grass and plants should it pour over the edge.</p></div>

Q: What are some methods for getting rid of bamboo?

• <div><p>The basic method of getting rid of bamboo is continuously watering and cutting it using an axe, pruners, or mower until the roots have been exhausted of their energy stores. However, most professionals find that digging up bamboo to remove underground shoots called rhizomes is the most effective method.</p></div>

"AJC Home Services was here this morning about 8:30 to cut down 12 very tall Evergreen trees. I watched them do this and it was very interesting to see the whole process. The 2 gentlemen were professional, hard working and thorough. They had them all cut down along with the clean-up in under 90 minutes. The stump grinding crew are on their way, as I write this to complete the job."
