Q: Can you transplant a tree to save it from construction?

• <div><p>It may be possible, but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/transplanting-large-trees.htm">transplanting a large, mature tree</a> can be a tricky project, and some trees handle it better than others. If you have a tree you need to save and are considering transplanting it elsewhere, we highly suggest calling a tree removal service and arranging a consultation to see what they say (and how much a full transplant would cost).</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for palm tree stumps to rot?

• <div><p>Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to prune your trees?

• <div><p>The average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you&rsquo;re short on time. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to kill tree roots?

• <div><p>Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time&mdash;typically between three and four weeks&mdash;while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you&rsquo;re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea. </p></div>

Q: Can you plant a tree over a gas line?

• <div><p>No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. </p></div>

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

It may be possible, but transplanting a large, mature tree can be a tricky project, and some trees handle it better than others. If you have a tree you need to save and are considering transplanting it elsewhere, we highly suggest calling a tree removal service and arranging a consultation to see what they say (and how much a full transplant would cost).

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.

The average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you’re short on time.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use.
