Can you trim a palm tree with a chainsaw?

• <div><p>Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw. </p></div>

What kills tree roots naturally?

• <div><p>Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/options-tree-stump-removal.htm">removing the tree's stump</a>. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.</p></div>

Q: How tall is a peach tree?

• <div><p>Peach trees grow to be about 25 feet, so keep this in mind for pruning as well. If you plan to DIY, you&rsquo;ll need to be comfortable working on a ladder. Without pruning, peach tree branches can sprawl nearly as wide as the tree grows tall, so make sure to plan pruning sessions at least once per year in the spring for controlled growth. And if you&rsquo;re working on a ladder, be sure to follow all safety precautions, especially if you&rsquo;ll be dealing with falling branches.</p></div>

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: Can tree roots break through concrete?

• <div><p>Tree roots don&rsquo;t necessarily break through concrete on their own, but they can certainly take advantage of existing cracks, even very small ones. As roots grow, they expand the cracks, making them larger and leading to serious and costly foundation damage. It&rsquo;s a good idea to have repairs on any <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quarter-inch-crack-my-foundation-major-concern.htm">foundation cracks you&rsquo;re concerned about</a>. </p></div>

My previous patio door was on its last life from when the house was built in 2005. I had towels in it to prevent the wind coming in. The floor would have snow occasionally because of the gaps in the door. Unfortunately, the builders put in a very cheap door. When I contacted ACE I knew I wanted...
