"My yard was an overgrown mess of a jungle. Derrick came in, gave me a very reasonable quote, explaining everything he was going to do. He was true to his word. The work he did was pretty amazing. My yard has been reclaimed and he is now my yard guy for all future work. You can’t go wrong with Derrick and Poland Property Management!!"

"Brad and his team went above and beyond to remove two ginormous pine trees we lost in the April winter storm. They hustled to get all the work done in one day, and without a chipper nonetheless! (it was in the shop.) They did what they could with the other machinery available and basically performed a miracle. Brad is personable, professional, and knowledgeable. Wishing safety for the rest of our trees, but should any others fall or need maintenance, we know who we'll call."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.
