Q: Can an arborist save my sick tree?

• <div><p>It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.</p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to remove a tree stump?

• <div><p>The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.</p><p>Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.</p><p>Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.</p><p>For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.</p></div>

Q: What do I do if a tree falls on power lines in my neighborhood?

• <div><p>Steer clear of the area and contact your utility company immediately. It will have a website portal and/or a phone number to report downed trees and electrical issues. If the tree appears to be on public land, you may want to call your local government and report the issue there, too.</p></div>

Q: How can I ask my neighbor to cut their tree?

• <div><p>Ideally, you&rsquo;ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you&rsquo;d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners&rsquo; association or local authorities, if applicable.</p></div>

Q: Do I need access to big trees to build a treehouse?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you&rsquo;re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/treehouse-builders/">local treehouse builder</a> before you start the project.</p></div>

"Amazing service. Jason was here the next morning and worked on the shower drain that was filled with grout from a tile contractor. Hired a local plumber to clear the drain and all they did was pierce the p trap in 2 places. Jason took over jetted the grout out, then sent the camera and noticed the 2 holes. Didn't leave me hanging over the holidays with family arriving in 2 days. Came back the next morning and dug his way under the home to replace the p trap. Saved me from cutting up all my new interior shower flooring. Highly recommended. Thank you Chloe and Jason."
