Q: How do I know when a tree needs trimming?

• <div><p>Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:</p><ul><li><p>A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. </p></li><li><p>A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home&rsquo;s exterior.</p></li><li><p>A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Is it bad to leave a dead tree stump in the ground?

• <div><p>It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It&rsquo;s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it&rsquo;s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.</p></div>

Q: Can I remove a tree myself?

• <div><p>While the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it&rsquo;s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it&rsquo;s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: How can I protect my foundation from tree roots?

• <div><p>Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you&rsquo;re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-foundation-repair-cost.htm">foundation repair costs</a>. </p></div>

Q: Do tree roots regrow if cut?

• <div><p>Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they&rsquo;re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree&rsquo;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&rsquo;t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional. </p></div>

Brady stopped over the next day to look at the project, answered questions & explained how they would go about it. The areas were dug out, prepped, packed, formed & poured in just a couple days. Crew was prompt & cleaned the area nicely.

These guys were polite, respectful, good listeners to what I wanted and needed done, were willing to move a piece of furniture that I couldn't get out along with everything else I moved in order for them to redo the floors. They had extra flooring of the same age from another old house...

I recently started trash removal with L&L. Unlike the competitor, they pick up the dumpster every 2 weeks instead of once a month. I really appreciate this. They are very friendly and have not had any issues at all with their services.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped.
A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.
A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore.

If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.
