Q: How long does it take to kill tree roots?

• <div><p>Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time&mdash;typically between three and four weeks&mdash;while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you&rsquo;re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea. </p></div>

Q: How close can trees get to power lines before they’re dangerous?

• <div><p>While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/know-dangers-trees-and-power-lines.htm">interfering with overhead power lines</a>. It&rsquo;s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it&rsquo;s essential to ensure your tree isn&rsquo;t in danger of growing too close to them.</p></div>

Q: What tool is best to trim trees?

• <div><p>For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree&rsquo;s diameter when deciding between tools.</p></div>

Q: How do you protect tree roots during excavation?

• <div><p>The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it&rsquo;s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that&rsquo;s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.</p><p>Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-tree.htm">remove the tree</a> than risk future problems.</p></div>

Q: Can stump grinding be bundled with tree removal?

• <div><p>A standard tree removal doesn&rsquo;t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you&rsquo;ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service&mdash;especially if it&rsquo;s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip. </p></div>
