Q: Will bleach kill a tree?

• <div><p>Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to remove a tree stump?

• <div><p>The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.</p><p>Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.</p><p>Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.</p><p>For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.</p></div>

Q: When shouldn't you prune trees?

• <div><p>Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you&rsquo;d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. </p><p>Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.</p></div>

Q: How do you prune and shape a plum tree?

• <div><p>Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They&rsquo;ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a reputable tree surgeon?

• <div><p>You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">professionals who hold the proper licensing</a> and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don&rsquo;t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.</p></div>

Customers say: True professional

"It went well. It was a very large tree with a garage right next to it so dropping it had to be very precise. LT tree service dropped all large limbs and big chunks of the trunk very precisely and had the equipment to do it which a couple of others in the area did not have the boom length to get up that high. They do. Price was fair with the amount of work done."

"Stockyard was the first of four businesses to reach out to me through Angie. In two full days Stockyard went from cut to clean-up on eight of our adult trees (minus the stump removal). Mark and his crew were very thoughtful in protecting our lawn and accommodating our needs thoroughly. Mark and his crew were quick to answer questions and make minor adjustments along the way, always willing to please and meet our needs. Stockyard was very flexible and were also most competitive in price, no games or hidden fees. Having never worked with a tree service before, Mark and his crew set a high bar and I certainly would recommend them for all your tree removal needs. Very personable and professional was Stockyard Tree Service. Stockyard was mindful of our neighbors and was careful not to infringe or damage any plants or structures. Great business !!!!"
