Q: How far should trees be from foundation?

• <div><p>In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree&rsquo;s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.</p></div>

Q: What is the most popular Christmas tree?

• <div><p>Many consider the Fraser fir to be the most popular type of Christmas tree, but which type of tree sells out near you can depend on region and decorating trends that year. For example, the Leyland cypress is especially popular in the Southeast, according to the National Christmas Tree Association. </p></div>

Q: Should you water a tree before transplanting?

• <div><p>Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don&rsquo;t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to prune trees in the summer?

• <div><p>Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it&rsquo;s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year&rsquo;s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.</p></div>

Q: How long does tree removal take?

• <div><p>For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-removal.htm">stump removal</a>. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.</p></div>
