Warning signs that a tree might fall include a sudden or growing lean, soil cracking or lifting around the base, large cracks or splits in the trunk, major dead limbs and mushrooms or decay near the roots. No single sign proves a tree will fall, but these clues mean the tree should be looked at…

A partially fallen tree should be treated as a serious hazard: keep everyone well away from it and have it handled by professionals. Trees that are hung up in other trees, resting on a structure or tipped over with the roots partly out of the ground can shift or come down the rest of the…

If a tree is leaning toward your house, first figure out whether the lean is new or getting worse. A sudden or increasing lean, especially with cracked or lifted soil at the base, is a serious warning sign, so keep people out of the rooms and yard areas the tree could hit and contact a…

For most trees, cutting one down yourself isn’t safe. Anything larger than a small sapling, or any tree near a house, fence, road or power line, carries real risk of injury and property damage and should be handled by trained professionals. Tree felling looks simple on video, but falling trees are heavy, fast and hard…

A tree’s condition should be checked before it’s cut because hidden decay, cracks or dead wood can make it behave unpredictably once cutting starts. A tree that looks solid may have weak spots that change how it should be cut, which direction it can safely fall and what equipment is needed. Checking first protects the…

Tree cutting is a broad term for cutting parts of a tree, such as damaged limbs, overgrown branches or sections of a trunk, while tree removal means taking the entire tree down. Cutting may leave the tree standing, but removal ends with the tree gone and, often, only a stump left behind. People use the…

Yes, you can usually build or pour concrete where a stump was removed, but the area needs to be properly prepared first. The hole should be cleared of wood and roots, filled with suitable material and compacted, because decaying wood and loose soil can settle and cause cracking or sinking later. How much preparation is…

When a stump is removed, the main root mass under it is usually taken out, but smaller roots spreading through the yard are often left behind. Those remaining roots can no longer get energy from the tree, so most of them slowly decay in the soil over time. What you notice afterward depends on the…

Stump removal costs vary from job to job, so there’s no single price that applies to every stump. The final cost mostly depends on the stump’s size, how deep and wide its roots spread, how easy it is to reach and how much restoration the area needs afterward. Because every stump is different, an on-site…

Yes, you can usually plant grass, flowers or small shrubs where a stump was ground, as long as you clear out most of the wood chips and add fresh soil first. Planting a new tree in the exact same spot is harder because of leftover roots, so a nearby location often works better. With a…
