Q: Should I cut down a dead palm tree?

• <div><p>Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:</p><ul><li><p>The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.</p></li><li><p>The palm&rsquo;s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.</p></li><li><p>The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor&rsquo;s property, and pedestrians.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

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 do you tell which way a tree will fall?

• <div><p>The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to prune your trees?

• <div><p>The average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you&rsquo;re short on time. </p></div>

Q: Can I prune apple trees in the spring?

• <div><p>Late winter is ideal, but if you&rsquo;re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn&rsquo;t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won&rsquo;t see results until the following year.</p><p>That said, there&rsquo;s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.</p></div>

We hired Cody to take care of removing some old buildings and a lot of mesquite. He did an amazing job! He is very honest and his communication is like no other. He kept us updated every day that he worked. If you need demo work, or brush clearing, I would highly recommend Cody!

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.
The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.
The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years.
