Q: Do landscapers remove tree stumps?

• <div><p>Removing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-copper-nails-kill-tree-stumps%E2%80%8B.htm">tree stumps</a> is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company. </p></div>

Q: Who is responsible for trimming roots from a tree growing on the property line?

• <div><p>In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.</p></div>

Q: Can I remove a tree myself?

• <div><p>While the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it&rsquo;s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it&rsquo;s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What does a maple tree look like in spring?

• <div><p>Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t prune a tree?

• <div><p>If a tree isn&rsquo;t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.</p></div>
