Can stump grinding be bundled with tree removal?

• <div><p>A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip. </p></div>

Q: Are tree suckers deadly to a tree?

• <div><p>No. Most of the time, suckers are only a sign that the tree is experiencing stress. However, they can also be the canary in the coal mine, letting you know that something else is stressing your tree. If you have lots of suckers on your tree, calling in an arborist or a tree care expert is always a good call to determine the cause and develop a solution that de-stresses your tree.</p></div>

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: Is it okay to leave tree roots in the ground?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there&rsquo;s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to take down my tree?

• <div><p>In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you&rsquo;ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between <b>$50 and $150</b> for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.</p></div>
