Can you cut down your own tree?

• <div><p>It is possible for you to cut down your own tree, but only take this project on if it’s a small tree and you’re experienced handling a chainsaw. If you need to use a ladder to cut down the tree or tree limbs, it’s too large (and dangerous) for you to remove yourself. </p><p>Hire a pro instead who can safely remove the tree without injury to you, themselves, or your home. Either way, look into tree removal regulations for the state you live in before having a tree removed to ensure it’s not a historic tree or protected by your city.</p></div>

Is it bad to cut down trees?

• <div><p>Unless it’s dead or dangerous, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-reasons-you-shouldnt-cut-down-tree.htm">think twice about cutting down a tree</a> in your yard. They’re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment. Plus, local authorities often have regulations prohibiting the removal of trees, especially protected species or individual trees with historical value.</p></div>

Q: What happens to the remaining stump and roots after grinding?

• <div><p>Stump grinding leaves the stump and roots below the grinding depth intact, though they will gradually decay over the next decade. You can grow plants with shallow roots, such as grass, over the remaining pieces of your now-deceased tree. However, you should wait until they fully decay to plant anything with a larger root system.</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: Will a walk-behind trencher cut through roots?

• <div><p>A walk-behind <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/will-a-trencher-cut-through-roots.htm">trencher can cut through roots</a> as long as they&rsquo;re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. </p></div>

I was very impressed with this company. They expanded my driveway and added pavers around the edges, by completely removing the old driveway, expanding it, and even ran drain pipes from the house to the road. They were very efficient, neat, and cleaned up after the project was complete. The...

This company took down eight large trees very close to my home without damaging a thing. Everything was removed per my request. It is so rare to find a company that does the job on time, at budget and cares about the quality of their work.

Very happy with the tree removal. Workers were very careful not to damage the fence or nearby house and did not damage the lawn. Reasonably priced as well.

The men from Claremont Glassworks did an excellent job when I had my garage doors replaced. They were on time, professional, and polite. They had both doors removed, and new ones replaced, plus two new garage door openers installed, in only a couple of hours. Great doing business with them
