Can you cut down your own tree?

• <div><p>It is possible for you to cut down your own tree, but only take this project on if it’s a small tree and you’re experienced handling a chainsaw. If you need to use a ladder to cut down the tree or tree limbs, it’s too large (and dangerous) for you to remove yourself. </p><p>Hire a pro instead who can safely remove the tree without injury to you, themselves, or your home. Either way, look into tree removal regulations for the state you live in before having a tree removed to ensure it’s not a historic tree or protected by your city.</p></div>

Can a tree grow back from a stump?

• <div><p>A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stop-tree-stump-sprouts.htm">send up a number of shoots from the dead stump</a>, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.</p></div>

Q: What time of year should a tree be cut down?

• <div><p>The dormant season between winter and late spring, when all the leaves have fallen off, is the best time of year to cut down a tree. Frozen earth is actually preferable for tree removal because it won&rsquo;t disturb the surrounding landscape as much as it would if you removed the tree during warmer months. </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of professional tree removal?

• <div><p>Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.</p></div>

Q: How do you know when an oak tree needs to be removed?

• <div><p>You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.</p></div>
