Do trees grow back if cut down?

• <div><p>Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-removal.htm">remove the stump</a>, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.</p></div>

Can you cut down your own tree?

• <div><p>It is possible for you to cut down your own tree, but only take this project on if it’s a small tree and you’re experienced handling a chainsaw. If you need to use a ladder to cut down the tree or tree limbs, it’s too large (and dangerous) for you to remove yourself. </p><p>Hire a pro instead who can safely remove the tree without injury to you, themselves, or your home. Either way, look into tree removal regulations for the state you live in before having a tree removed to ensure it’s not a historic tree or protected by your city.</p></div>

Q: Do trees grow back if cut down?

• <div><p>Trees don&rsquo;t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won&rsquo;t become a &ldquo;tree&rdquo; like before. Generally, trees don&rsquo;t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it&rsquo;s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it&rsquo;s a good idea to make plans to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-removal.htm">remove the stump</a>, even if it&rsquo;s unlikely to grow back.</p></div>

Q: When is the cheapest time of year to have a tree cut down?

• <div><p>Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cheapest-time-tree-removal.htm">cheapest time of year to remove a tree</a> is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.</p></div>

Q: What will make tree stumps rot faster?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re looking to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-rot-tree-stump.htm">rot a tree stump fast</a>, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place. </p></div>

Q: How much does homeowners insurance cover for tree removal?

• <div><p>Coverage varies quite a bit by policy, but most homeowners' insurance policies will cover <b>$500 to $1,000</b> of the cost of removing a tree. Additionally, if your tree causes damage to your property, like your house, many policies will cover some or all of the costs to repair the damage, depending on why the tree fell. </p></div>

They stole my money. Sent a drunk with no driver license then some kids who barely knew how to hold a hammer. Cheap lumber that can be removed with the back of a hammer.

I didn't go with them because they were $10k higher than all the other contractors who came to give an estimate. They insisted that all the existing siding had to be removed, which just doesn't make sense. They did show up on time and were courteous, and I know they do quality work from...
