Q: Can all types of tree roots be treated in the same way?

• <div><p>All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it&rsquo;s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate. </p></div>

Q: How long will it take to grind a tree stump with a stump grinder?

• <div><p>It will take you anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per tree stump to grind and remove the stump from the ground. The larger the size, the longer it will take to remove the stump. Also, keep in mind that rocky soil may require <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/excavation-companies/">local excavation services</a> to loosen up large boulders before you can begin to remove the tree stump.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to dig through tree roots?

• <div><p>Tree experts don&rsquo;t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don&rsquo;t damage the tree&rsquo;s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree&rsquo;s roots.</p></div>

Q: What dissolves a tree stump?

• <div><p>Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it. </p></div>

Q: How do I find a reliable arborist near me?

• <div><p>Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:</p><ul><li><p>Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I&rsquo;m having?</p></li><li><p>Are you fully insured?</p></li><li><p>Do you have customer references I can call?</p></li><li><p>Do you have any third-party certifications?</p></li><li><p>What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

"Provided root treatment for three trees (1 red oak, 1 live oak & 1 silver leaf maple ) to both root feed the trees and kill infections inside the trees - particularly the silver leaf maple.
The Silver Leaf Maple is about 26 years old and I was about ready to cut it down. Bob White convinced me to allow him to treat the tree September 2012 but told me it would talk until the spring (2013) to see the difference. Both of the Oaks are substantially healthier and greener than similar trees on my street. But the Silver Leaf Maple appears to be rebounding very well, and if I can save this very old tree, then I will be very pleased and surprised. And right now - it looks as though it will do well.
Thanks Bob.

Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?
Are you fully insured?
Do you have customer references I can call?
Do you have any third-party certifications?
