Q: Are palm trees easy to remove?

• <div><p>Palm trees aren&rsquo;t much different than your typical <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-tree-removal-cost.htm">tree removal</a>. Removing a palm tree is a standard procedure as long as pros have the proper tools and supplies. For DIYers, however, there are some risks associated with palm tree removal. Palm trees have spiky fronds, bark, and patches of hefty wood. So, it&rsquo;s best to let an experienced tree service pro remove a palm tree.</p></div>

Q: What do I do if my neighbor is complaining about dead trees?

• <div><p>Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That&rsquo;s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don&rsquo;t pose any threat, you&rsquo;re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).</p><p>But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor&rsquo;s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it&rsquo;s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.</p></div>

Q: Should I top my tree?

• <div><p>No. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/topping-techniques-can-be-bad-trees-homeowners.htm">Topping a tree</a> refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn&rsquo;t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.</p></div>

Q: How much is tree-cutting insurance?

• <div><p>Professional tree service companies typically insure themselves for between <b>$500,000 to $2 million</b>, depending on the size of the company and the extent of work they do&mdash;that type of tree-cutting insurance costs between <b>$3,000 and $6,000 a year</b>. But the average U.S. tree-cutting insurance policy covers about $1 million in general liability, which costs roughly <b>$40 a month </b>or<b> $500 a year</b>.</p></div>

Q: Why shouldn't I leave a tree stump in the ground?

• <div><p>Tree stumps are not only unsightly, but they can also do serious damage to your yard and home&rsquo;s foundation. Tree stumps also attract termites, mice, ants, and other pests that could make their way into your home. While it&rsquo;s an investment in your yard, removing a stump is worth the cost.</p></div>
