Q: Does pruning make trees stronger?

• <div><p>Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it&rsquo;s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree&rsquo;s strength and balance.</p></div>

Q: How can I save money on a new tree?

• <div><p>Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they&rsquo;re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. </p><p>These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online&mdash;so there&rsquo;s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you&rsquo;re ready to plant it.</p></div>

Q: Does vinegar kill tree roots?

• <div><p>Using vinegar to kill tree roots is just one of the clever ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-ways-use-vinegar.htm">use vinegar around the house</a>. The method works best when you apply vinegar as directly to the root system as possible. For example, if the old tree roots and stump are currently exposed, drill holes in the tops of the roots and pour undiluted white vinegar into the holes to soak into the plant. Remember that vinegar can kill the surrounding grass and plants should it pour over the edge.</p></div>

Q: What's the difference between trimming and pruning a tree?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prune-tree.htm">Pruning a tree</a> is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.</p></div>

Q: How many roots can you cut before a tree dies?

• <div><p>Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don&rsquo;t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-arborist%E2%80%8B.htm">arborist</a>.</p></div>

"CSI was flexible and was able to schedule a home inspector the day after I got a bid accepted on a house. The inspector, Patrick, showed up on time and the inspection took about 4 hours. Patrick was responsive to any questions I had by email or live during the inspection. My one recommendation is that I requested a pest, mold, radon, and home inspection. It would be a better heads up if they explained that they sometimes outsource the radon inspection depending on availability of radon inspectors. Also, they can explain a bit more for new home buyers what is involved with a mold inspection. Patrick ended up just eyeing whether he spotted any mold. Because he did not see any mold, we did not have to pay extra for mold samples."
