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>

Can all tree roots regrow?

• <div><p>Although many tree roots will continue to grow after the tree has been cut, there are a handful of exceptions to this rule. While species like elms, ficus, and willows have roots that will regrow with a vengeance, pine, oak, and maple roots will die when they’re cut down. If you’re not sure what kind of tree roots you’re dealing with, there’s a simple way to find out. New sprouts on old trunks, stumps, or exposed roots are a sign that the root system is still hard at work. </p></div>

Do I cut down my Dutch elm diseased tree?

• <div><p>You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/elm-tree-identification.htm">identified it as an elm tree</a>.<b> </b>Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.</p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to kill tree roots?

• <div><p>The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to leave tree roots in the ground?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there&rsquo;s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.</p></div>

we had an estimate that was $900 less than pure air but was not worth the price because pure air did a lot more by removing moldy wood etc and disposing of it the other company was just going to spray, Pure air even went back to house when my client had a question
