Q: Is it OK to leave tree roots in the ground?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can a tree grow back after stump removal?

• <div><p>If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-plant-tree-where-stump-removed%E2%80%8B.htm">plant a tree where a stump was removed</a>. </p></div>

Q: How much can you trim a tree without killing it?

• <div><p>Generally, you&rsquo;ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree&rsquo;s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it&rsquo;s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if a palm tree is dying?

• <div><p>When a palm tree no longer produces new fronds and old fronds start turning yellow-brown, that&rsquo;s a sign the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-tell-tree-is-dead.htm">tree is dying</a>. However, transplanted palm trees can show these signs for the first several months as they re-establish themselves. It&rsquo;s best to keep watering and not give up on the palm tree until a couple of seasons have passed and you&rsquo;re sure it&rsquo;s not coming back to life.</p></div>

Q: Can you trim just one side of a tree?

• <div><p>You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.</p></div>

"Super pleasant to work with. They cut down roughly 30 trees for me and stump grinded them out, hauled everything away. They did a fabulous job making sure to clean up after and leveled it all. It was like they were never there. Price was unbeatable in my opinion for the quality of communication and work prior to start and after finish. Recommend them to anyone and will use them for any future needs. Thanks again!"
