Q: Can I trim a tree myself?

• <div><p>We don&rsquo;t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to <b>$1,100</b> or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. </p><p>Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it&rsquo;s safest to let a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-tips-get-best-tree-service.htm">tree-trimming professional</a> assess the work needed. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take a tree to recover after pruning?

• <div><p>The recovery time for pruning depends on how much you prune, the species of tree, and how well you care for it afterward. All trees grow new wood and often sprout additional branches after pruning. Ideally, trees should recover from normal pruning after one or two years. Heavy pruning or slow-growing trees may take several years to fully recover. </p></div>

Q: Can a tree with borers be saved?

• <div><p>Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.</p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to remove a tree stump?

• <div><p>The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.</p><p>Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.</p><p>Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.</p><p>For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.</p></div>

Q: What trees should not be pruned in winter?

• <div><p>Trees that flower in the spring&mdash;like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear&mdash;should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you&rsquo;ll actually remove what would&rsquo;ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.</p></div>
