Should trees close to a house be removed?

• <div><p>A small, healthy tree growing close to your home isn’t usually a problem. However, it’s worth speaking to an arborist if you have a tree within 15 to 20 feet of your home that isn’t in such good health or is encroaching on your home’s perimeter. The last thing you want is branches burrowing their way under tiles, causing a roof leak.</p></div>

Q: Should trees close to a house be removed?

• <div><p>A small, healthy tree growing close to your home isn&rsquo;t usually a problem. However, it&rsquo;s worth speaking to an arborist if you have a tree within 15 to 20 feet of your home that isn&rsquo;t in such good health or is encroaching on your home&rsquo;s perimeter. The last thing you want is branches burrowing their way under tiles, causing a roof leak.</p></div>

Q: Can a tree grow back after stump removal?

• <div><p>If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-plant-tree-where-stump-removed%E2%80%8B.htm">plant a tree where a stump was removed</a>. </p></div>

Q: Why are stumps so hard to burn?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How long does stump removal typically take?

• <div><p>Generally, 1-2 hours per stump, depending on size and root depth.</p></div>

Q: Can a tree be removed without a stump remaining?

• <div><p>Although it&rsquo;s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. </p><p>Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They&rsquo;ll be able to walk you through the entire process.</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."
