Q: Can I cut down a tree myself?

Q: How does stump removal impact soil health?

• <div><p>Professionals ensure minimal disturbance and can enhance the soil with treatment where the stump was located.</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 palm trees?

• <div><p>While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.</p></div>

Q: Are palm tree stumps hard to remove?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. </p><p>If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you&rsquo;ll have to dig quite deep&mdash;and perhaps wide&mdash;to trim away all the roots.</p></div>
