Is it safe to burn tree stumps?

• <div><p>Burning a single palm tree stump, if you’re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you’re burning multiple types of trees. </p><p>Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.</p></div>

Do I have to grind an old tree stump?

• <div><p>We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-kill-tree-stump.htm">killing a tree stump</a>, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.</p><p>Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.</p></div>

How long does it take to kill tree roots?

• <div><p>Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea. </p></div>

Q: What does a dying tree trunk look like?

• <div><p>There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that&rsquo;s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-you-remove-tree-4-ways-tell.htm">time to cut the tree down</a> so it doesn&rsquo;t fall.</p></div>

Q: How hard is it to use a stump grinder?

• <div><p>Using a stump grinder is no walk in the park. You&rsquo;ll need to feel confident using some heavy and dangerous equipment. You&rsquo;ll also need to know what size chainsaw you&rsquo;ll need. Factor in the labor for clearing out the debris and filling the hole, and your project becomes quite a laborious one. If you don&rsquo;t have experience with operating a stump grinder, it might be best to call a professional to do the job for you.</p></div>

This company took down eight large trees very close to my home without damaging a thing. Everything was removed per my request. It is so rare to find a company that does the job on time, at budget and cares about the quality of their work.
