Q: Will my tree die if I try to move it?

• <div><p>Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You&rsquo;ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn&rsquo;t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.</p></div>

Q: What is not a good tree trimming technique?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, you&rsquo;ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You&rsquo;ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. </p><p>Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.</p></div>

Q: How much does tree service insurance cost?

• <div><p>Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.</p></div>

Q: Can you plant a tree over a gas line?

• <div><p>No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. </p></div>

Q: Will a palm tree regrow from a stump?

• <div><p>Palm trees will not regrow from a stump once the tree has been cut down. This type of tree is unique because the root and stump system will slowly decay after the tree is gone, unlike other species that can regrow. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s preferable to remove dead or decaying palm tree stumps quickly as they can become an eyesore and don&rsquo;t offer future growing potential.</p></div>
