Can you dig out a tree stump?

• <div><p>If you have a strong back and a lot of patience, you can dig out a tree stump. You'll need to use a pointed shovel to dig out the soil around the stump, cutting away roots with a pair of clippers as you go. You’ve removed enough soil when you can access the taproot at the bottom of the root ball. After you cut that major artery with a saw or loppers, you should be able to roll the stump over and haul it away. </p></div>

Q: What are signs that trees or shrubs require trimming or removal?

• <div><p>Signs include dead branches, growth over structures, diseases, pests, or roots impacting hardscapes.</p></div>

Q: Can all types of tree roots be treated in the same way?

• <div><p>All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it&rsquo;s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate. </p></div>

Q: What insurance is needed for stump grinding?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re hiring a company to perform stump grinding&mdash;or any home service for that matter&mdash;you&rsquo;ll want them to at least have general liability insurance and worker&rsquo;s compensation insurance. This type of coverage protects both you and the business in the case of any accidents. Professional liability insurance and inland marine insurance plans are also important for tree companies to have. Ask any pro you&rsquo;re considering hiring about licenses and insurance coverage before booking the job.</p></div>

Q: Is hiring an arborist worth it, or can I hire a standard tree company?

• <div><p>Hiring an arborist is usually more expensive than hiring a standard tree company, but it&rsquo;s typically well worth the investment. If you suspect a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-common-tree-diseases.htm">tree is infested or diseased</a>, hiring an arborist can help avoid the same fate for nearby trees, and prevent removal. Arborists might also be necessary if you&rsquo;re dealing with tree removal or trimming near power lines, as uncertified removal companies often aren&rsquo;t permitted to service these trees. Finally, if your aim is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is absolutely worth the money.</p></div>
