Q: Can I remove a small tree from my yard?

If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.</p></div>

Q: Can you leave roots in the ground?

• <div><p>While you can leave roots in the ground, if you don&rsquo;t want the shrub to regrow again over time, it&rsquo;s best not to leave any roots behind. Ensure you remove as much of the shrub as possible, including the root ball and any main roots you can see, to prevent new growth. Some gardeners opt for using a chemical treatment to prevent the stump from growing back, but this can kill beneficial microorganisms living in your soil. </p></div>

Q: Can trees grow back after stump grinding?

• <div><p>Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.</p></div>
