How can I tell when a tree is dead?

• <div><p>It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-dead-or-dormant.htm">dead or dormant</a>, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to cut tree roots that are above ground?

• <div><p>If you aren&rsquo;t sure what you&rsquo;re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree&rsquo;s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. </p><p>It&rsquo;s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it&rsquo;s a very small tree and you aren&rsquo;t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.</p></div>

Q: Why should you grind down a tree?

• <div><p>Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home&rsquo;s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit it. </p></div>

Q: Can you hire someone to move a tree?

• <div><p>Yes, you can hire professionals to move a tree. Arborists and tree transplanting companies specialize in this type of work and use equipment like hydraulic tree spades to safely extract and relocate trees with their root balls intact. Since tree moving is a complex process, especially for larger trees, it&rsquo;s best left to experts who understand how to protect the tree&rsquo;s health and ensure the safety of everyone involved. </p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of poison oak vines on trees?

• <div><p>Poison oak is similar to poison ivy in that it's in the same family of plants. Poison oak is identifiable by its rounded-off leaves and hairy leaf texture. Tree-climbing varieties live primarily in western states while low-growing poison oak bushes occupy the eastern states. Treat poison oak like poison ivy to get rid of it permanently.</p></div>
