Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Services

Find answers to common questions about tree care and hiring professional tree service companies in UK.

How long does it take for a tree stump to rot?

The time it takes for a tree stump to rot depends on several factors, including:
  • Tree species: Some tree species have harder, more decay-resistant wood than others.
  • Climate: Warm, humid climates accelerate decomposition, while cold, dry climates slow it down.
  • Moisture: Stumps in moist soil or those exposed to regular rainfall will decompose faster than those in dry conditions.
  • Insect and Fungal Activity: Insects and fungi play a crucial role in breaking down wood. Stumps that are accessible to these organisms will rot faster.
In general, it can take anywhere from 3 to 7 years or even longer for a tree stump to decompose naturally. Stump grinding is a much faster solution, removing the stump immediately.

How do I know if my tree is diseased?

Look for these signs of tree disease:
  • Leaf discoloration or spots: Yellowing, browning, or spotting on leaves can indicate fungal infections, nutrient deficiencies, or other problems.
  • Premature leaf drop: Losing leaves earlier than usual or outside of the normal seasonal cycle can be a sign of stress or disease.
  • Dieback of branches: Branches dying from the tips inward can indicate disease, insect infestation, or drought stress.
  • Cankers or lesions: Sunken or discolored areas on the bark can indicate fungal or bacterial infections.
  • Mushrooms or conks growing on the trunk or roots: These are often signs of decay fungi.
  • Wilting or drooping leaves: Can indicate a lack of water, root damage, or vascular disease.
If you notice any of these signs, it's best to contact a certified arborist for a professional diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?

Several signs indicate a tree may need to be removed:
  • Significant damage or decay: If a tree has extensive damage to its trunk, roots, or branches, or shows signs of significant decay, it may be structurally unsound and pose a hazard.
  • Leaning precariously: A tree leaning excessively towards a structure, power lines, or other valuable assets poses a risk of falling and causing damage.
  • Disease or infestation: Trees infected with diseases or infested with pests can weaken and become hazardous. Professional assessment is needed to determine if treatment is possible or if removal is necessary.
  • Root problems: Trees with damaged or compromised root systems can be unstable and pose a risk of falling. Signs include heaving soil, root exposure, or mushrooms growing at the base of the tree.
  • Interfering with structures or utilities: If a tree is growing too close to a building, foundation, power lines, or other utilities, it may need to be removed to prevent damage or interference.
  • Overcrowding or competition: Trees growing too close together can compete for resources, leading to stunted growth or decline. Selective removal may be necessary to improve the health of the remaining trees.
It's always best to consult with a qualified arborist to assess the health and safety of your trees and determine the best course of action.

How deep do tree roots grow?

The depth of tree roots varies depending on factors such as:
  • Tree species: Some trees have deep taproots, while others have more shallow, spreading root systems.
  • Soil type: Roots tend to grow deeper in loose, well-drained soil and shallower in compacted or rocky soil.
  • Water availability: Roots will grow deeper in search of moisture in dry conditions.
In general, most tree roots are found within the top 3 feet of soil. However, some trees can have roots that extend much deeper, especially in favorable conditions. For example, oak trees can have taproots that go down 10 feet or more.
