Q: How do you cut down a tree without a chainsaw?

• <div><p>You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. </p></div>

Q: What benefits do trimming or removing trees and shrubs offer to a property?

• <div><p>Trimming or removing trees promotes safety, prevents interference with structures or utilities, and enhances the aesthetic and health of the property landscape.</p></div>

Q: Can I build over a stump?

• <div><p>Yes, you can build over a stump if the roots are no longer alive. Living roots will continue to grow and may damage your new construction over time. Similarly, you should also remove rotting stumps because they may continue to attract pests and even cause new structures (especially those made from wood) to decompose as well. </p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;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: How do you know when an oak tree needs to be removed?

• <div><p>You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.</p></div>

Mr. Nagle arrived on time and quickly removed an old bathroom sink and replaced it with a new vanity I'd bought. Throughout the process he was amicable and professional so that doing business was uncomplicated. The results totally satisfied both me and (more important) my wife.
