Q: What method can I use instead of tree topping?

• <div><p>A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you&rsquo;re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree&rsquo;s limbs. If you&rsquo;re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you&rsquo;re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree. </p></div>

Q: Can you burn a tree stump?

• <div><p>It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You&rsquo;ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it&rsquo;s large. </p><p>Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn&rsquo;t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what&rsquo;s left of it. </p><p>If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.</p></div>

Q: How damaged can a tree be before it’s considered a loss?

• <div><p>Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than <b>25%</b> loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.</p></div>

Q: What do I do with a tree stump once it’s dead?

• <div><p>Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.</p></div>

Q: Can you plant a tree where a stump was removed?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-plant-tree-where-stump-removed%E2%80%8B.htm">whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed</a>, know that the soil conditions won&rsquo;t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It&rsquo;s best to choose a different spot that&rsquo;s at least<b> three feet away</b> for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant. </p></div>
