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 I leave a dead tree standing?

• <div><p>Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.</p></div>

Q: Does a tree stump need to be removed?

• <div><p>Leaving stumps in place comes with a lot of drawbacks. Along with being unsightly, tree stumps left in the ground can attract pests, rot away in your yard, encourage weed growth, and harm other plants and trees sharing your lawn. In extreme cases, tree stumps and their roots can damage the structure of your home or reduce your property value. </p><p>While it&rsquo;s tempting to just leave them be, the longer you wait, the more you might regret it.</p></div>

Q: What is the typical duration for removing a tree from commercial properties?

• <div><p>Most tree removals take 3-8 hours, requiring additional time for stump grinding or debris hauling.</p></div>

Q: Will painting a stump stop it from growing?

• <div><p>Yes, if you &ldquo;paint&rdquo; or brush a freshly cut stump with a specialty herbicide containing glyphosate within five minutes of cutting the fresh surface, the stump will soak up the herbicide and prevent new growth. One application often works, but you might have to re-paint two to four weeks later if you see growth.</p></div>
