Can you plant a tree over a ground up stump?

• <div><p>It is possible to plant a tree over a ground stump if it was ground very deeply. However, it is typically best to plant elsewhere so your new tree has room to establish a strong, healthy root system. If you want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-plant-tree.htm">plant a tree</a> in the same spot where you currently have a stump, you may want to consider other options, such as stump removal.</p></div>

What if I can’t plant my branch right away?

• <div><p>Don’t worry if there’s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can’t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.</p></div>

Q: How far away from my house should I plant a tree?

• <div><p>You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.</p></div>

Q: What costs are generally involved in lakefront landscaping?

• <div><p>Costs for lakefront landscaping are influenced by project size, choice of plants and materials, labor, and any additional features or structures desired. Projects can range from a few thousand dollars to extensive transformations costing much more.</p></div>

We hired them to lay patio stones and plant shrubs. The patio is wavy and has sunken spots and they never brought the plants we paid for. All we got were plants they dug out of someone else's yard.

They have been great. They do their job, do a great job, they are very thorough about what they do. They think about what they are doing before they do it and I've never had to call them back. With this kind of business there are delays because you get busy or rain so it causes delays.
