Q: Will a tree survive if transplanted?

• <div><p>If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You&rsquo;ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree&rsquo;s root ball needs to be around <b>11 inches</b>. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.</p></div>

Q: What tree is mistaken for a maple tree?

• <div><p>It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence. </p></div>

Q: Do I have to grind an old tree stump?

• <div><p>We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don&rsquo;t try using acids or fire for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-kill-tree-stump.htm">killing a tree stump</a>, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.</p><p>Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.</p></div>

Q: Can cutting a tree's roots cause it to fall?

• <div><p>Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.</p></div>

Q: How much do professional garden services cost?

• <div><p>Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between <b>$20 and $30 per hour</b>, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as <b>$60 to $88 per hour</b>. </p><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-lawn-mowing-cost.htm">cost of lawn mowing</a> is about <b>$125</b>, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about <b>$1,450</b>, which should only be done every three to five years. </p></div>

"Emlyn and his assistant Johnmark Were asked to remove a dying tree. The tree was 20 feet behind our garage and 10 feet from the neighbors' wooden fence. They trimmed the tree then felled the trunk without it touching either the garage or fence. The tree was about 45 feet tall. The stump was cut to ground level, they left some of the larger branches for fire wood (the wood was cut to 2 foot lengths and neatly piled.) The smaller branches were chipped and blown onto a garden where I wanted it. The trunk and very large branches were all removed, and the yard was cleaned of debris before they left. They estimated it would take 4 1/2 to 5 hours to complete, but they were totally done with the jobs in under 4 hours. I know now who I will call when I need another tree removal. I recommend them to anyone who needs tree removal. WAH"

"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 !!!!"
