Q: How do you protect tree roots during excavation?

• <div><p>The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it&rsquo;s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that&rsquo;s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.</p><p>Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-tree.htm">remove the tree</a> than risk future problems.</p></div>

Q: Can I use a chainsaw to kill a tree stump?

• <div><p>You can use a chainsaw, but it won&rsquo;t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion. </p></div>

Q: How do you transport a fully-grown tree?

• <div><p>Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.</p></div>

Q: What trees produce the most sap?

• <div><p>Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.</p></div>

Q: Is it good to remove dead branches?

• <div><p>Yes, it can be good to remove dead branches from trees. Dead branches can lead to rot in other areas of the tree. They can also cause damage if they fall on a house, shed, fence, car, pool, or other structure or property. However, it&rsquo;s important that dead branch removal is done safely. If the branch is high in a tree or requires a lift or ladder to access, consider calling a professional tree removal company, as they will have the experience and equipment to do the job safely.</p></div>
