Can I cut down a tree myself?

• <div><p>If the tree is very small—under 4 or 5 inches in diameter—and you’re experienced handling a chainsaw, you may be able to cut down the tree on your own, provided there’s plenty of room for it to fall. </p><p>However, felling even small trees can be dangerous, and it’s always advisable to have a spotter on hand. This will help make sure the tree doesn’t fall the wrong way or that branches aren’t about to fall on you while you’re working. </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>

Can cutting roots make a tree fall?

• <div><p>If major <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/will-cutting-tree-roots-kill-tree%E2%80%8B.htm">support roots are cut</a>, the tree may become unstable. Many are located just below the soil’s surface. Even cutting roots that are less than one-half inch under or outside the edge of a tree’s canopy can cut off its water, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.</p></div>

Q: Can I take down a tree myself?

• <div><p>It is possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-cut-down-tree.htm">cut down a tree</a> on your property yourself, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. If the tree is short enough to easily reach the top branches, and the tree is far from power lines or structures, consider renting a chainsaw and removing it yourself. Trees that are larger than that, close to electrical lines, or close to fences, homes, sheds, or other structures should only ever be removed by professionals. Not only is the work dangerous, but you could damage structures on your property in the process.</p></div>

Q: Can I plant on top of a tree stump?

• <div><p>While plants and trees can grow in tree stumps in nature, it is not recommended in your yard. This is due to soil composition, the possibility of pests and disease, a lack of space for rooting, and moisture availability for the new tree. Instead, hire a stump removal or grinding service to remove it and start fresh in the space.</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
