How long can a dead tree remain?

• <div><p>Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later. </p></div>

Should trees close to a house be removed?

• <div><p>A small, healthy tree growing close to your home isn’t usually a problem. However, it’s worth speaking to an arborist if you have a tree within 15 to 20 feet of your home that isn’t in such good health or is encroaching on your home’s perimeter. The last thing you want is branches burrowing their way under tiles, causing a roof leak.</p></div>

Q: How long can a dead tree remain?

• <div><p>Since each tree is different, it&rsquo;s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it&rsquo;s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it&rsquo;s best to have them removed sooner rather than later. </p></div>

Q: Is it safe to use salt to kill a tree stump?

• <div><p>No. Rock salt and similar concoctions use sodium chloride. It may be great sprinkled on your roasted potatoes, but plants don&rsquo;t like it at all and in large amounts it will poison the soil. So while standard salt will dry out a tree, it will kill everything else nearby and cause other problems. The confusion is due to the word &ldquo;salt&rdquo; being an old catch-term for any dry chemical mixture.</p></div>

Q: Should trees close to a house be removed?

The last thing you want is branches burrowing their way under tiles, causing a roof leak.</p></div>

Q: What is the typical duration for removing a tree from commercial properties?

• <div><p>Most tree removals take 3-8 hours, requiring additional time for stump grinding or debris hauling.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of stump grinding?

• <div><p>The main disadvantage of stump grinding is that it requires use of heavy and dangerous machinery, meaning you should hire a professional to tackle it, increasing the removal cost. Another drawback of stump grinding is that it can cause root decay in the root system left behind. The remaining wood may develop this type of decay, making it difficult to replant a new tree or plant in that spot in the future.</p></div>
