Can I remove a stump myself?

• <div><p>It is possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-removal.htm">remove a stump yourself</a>, but it’s an extremely labor-intensive job and often requires special equipment that is expensive to rent.

Q: What should you do if a tree is dead?

• <div><p>Leaving a dead tree can expose your other trees to potential diseases, pests, and fungi, and it can also be a hazard. If your tree is dead, then you should hire a tree maintenance service to remove it. Cutting down trees is extremely dangerous, and a professional can ensure no one gets hurt and there is no damage to your property. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-tree-removal-cost.htm">Tree removal costs</a> between<b> $200 and $2,000</b> and will prevent future issues and keep you and your property safe.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take roots to fully rot after a stump dies?

• <div><p>For a large tree, roots can take 5 to 10 years to completely decay after a stump dies. But that&rsquo;s rarely a concern for above-ground plants and growth. You can choose to grind up a stump immediately after felling a tree (although it will be tougher wood), or you can wait several months up to a year for the stump to decay. When finished, you can leave any leftover roots in the ground to decompose. </p></div>

Q: What kills tree roots but not grass?

• <div><p>Most chemical treatments that kill roots will also damage the grass around it&mdash;including more natural substances like Epsom salt. In this case, cutting tree roots is probably your best bet if you want to preserve the grass. Use caution before you cut or prune roots to make sure you know what you&rsquo;re cutting and know the risks if you make an error. </p></div>
