Can you plant a tree over a ground up stump?

• <div><p>It is possible to plant a tree over a ground stump if it was ground very deeply. However, it is typically best to plant elsewhere so your new tree has room to establish a strong, healthy root system. If you want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-plant-tree.htm">plant a tree</a> in the same spot where you currently have a stump, you may want to consider other options, such as stump removal.</p></div>

How much does stump removal cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stump-removal-cost.htm">Stump removal costs</a> an average of <b>$400</b>, and prices typically fluctuate between <b>$200 and $600</b>. The size of your tree stump is the most significant cost factor to consider, but the method of removal, the type of tree, and the stump’s location all play a role. Chemical rotting is the most affordable method, while stump grinding and manual removal are more expensive but significantly faster. Hardwood tree stumps will cost more to remove because they’re more challenging than other varieties, and close proximity to fences or your home can drive up the cost.</p></div>

Do I have to remove a tree stump?

• <div><p>Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-ideas-your-yard.htm">get creative with this tree remnant</a>. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump. </p></div>

Q: What will make tree stumps rot faster?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re looking to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-rot-tree-stump.htm">rot a tree stump fast</a>, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take a dead tree to fall?

• <div><p>It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it&rsquo;s hard to predict the fall&rsquo;s timing, it&rsquo;s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.</p></div>
