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 is the quickest way to remove a tree stump?

• <div><p>The fastest way to remove a tree stump is to use a stump grinder. You can hire a professional stump removal service or rent the machine. If you choose to grind the stump out yourself, keep in mind these machines are large and can be difficult to transport and operate. A more affordable way to remove a tree stump is to use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate decomposition, which can take four to six months.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take tree stumps to decompose?

• <div><p>It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. </p></div>

Q: Is hiring an arborist worth it, or can I hire a standard tree company?

• <div><p>Hiring an arborist is usually more expensive than hiring a standard tree company, but it&rsquo;s typically well worth the investment. If you suspect a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-common-tree-diseases.htm">tree is infested or diseased</a>, hiring an arborist can help avoid the same fate for nearby trees, and prevent removal. Arborists might also be necessary if you&rsquo;re dealing with tree removal or trimming near power lines, as uncertified removal companies often aren&rsquo;t permitted to service these trees. Finally, if your aim is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is absolutely worth the money.</p></div>

Q: Are there regulations or permits needed for tree removal or trimming?

• <div><p>Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.</p></div>
