Q: Are tree roots in my lawn a problem?

• <div><p>Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home&rsquo;s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best time of year to prune a tree?

• <div><p>Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.</p></div>

Q: Can all types of tree roots be treated in the same way?

• <div><p>All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: Should I remove a tree that’s close to my house?

• <div><p>A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.</p></div>

Q: Should I cut down a dead palm tree?

• <div><p>Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:</p><ul><li><p>The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.</p></li><li><p>The palm&rsquo;s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.</p></li><li><p>The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor&rsquo;s property, and pedestrians.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.
The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.
The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.
