Do tree roots regrow if cut?

• <div><p>Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stop-tree-roots-growing-back.htm">how to get rid of regrowing tree roots</a> is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional. </p></div>

Q: What is the most affordable way to get rid of a tree stump?

• <div><p>Probably the most cost-efficient way to remove a tree stump is to use Epsom salts, which help accelerate the rotting process making it easier to remove by hand once nature has taken its course. Burning a tree stump doesn&rsquo;t tend to cost much either, but is a riskier DIY method. </p></div>

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

• <div><p>In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.</p></div>

Q: What do I do if my neighbor is complaining about dead trees?

• <div><p>Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That&rsquo;s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don&rsquo;t pose any threat, you&rsquo;re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).</p><p>But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor&rsquo;s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it&rsquo;s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.</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>

They responded quickly. I did not purchase leaf filter but they sent a sub-contractor that did a really good job of cleaning out my gutters. Will not know how good the job was done until the next rain. But for now I am satisfied.

They had a dumpster to remove the old roof with and they removed it the day after a heavy rain that left huge ruts in the yard. I should have known what to expect from them then, but I like to take people at their word. Approximately three years later, I was in my attic and noticed a leak coming...
