Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Services

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

How close to a house can you plant a tree?

The recommended distance for planting a tree from a house depends on the tree's mature size and root system. As a general rule, plant trees at least:
  • 10 feet away from foundations for small trees (mature height under 30 feet).
  • 20 feet away from foundations for medium-sized trees (mature height 30-70 feet).
  • 30 feet or more away from foundations for large trees (mature height over 70 feet).
Planting too close can lead to root damage to foundations, sidewalks, or underground utilities. It's always a good idea to research the mature size and root system of the specific tree species you're considering and consult with a certified arborist for guidance on proper placement.

What is the best way to protect trees during construction?

Protecting trees during construction projects is crucial for preserving their health and preventing damage. Here are some key steps to take:
  • Tree Protection Zone (TPZ): Establish a designated area around the trees that is off-limits to construction activities. The size of the TPZ depends on the tree's size and species, but generally, it should extend to the drip line (the outermost edge of the tree's canopy).
  • Root Protection: Avoid digging, trenching, or compacting the soil within the TPZ. If excavation is necessary, use hand digging or air spading to minimize root disturbance.
  • Trunk Protection: Protect tree trunks from damage by wrapping them with protective barriers, such as burlap or plywood.
  • Branch Protection: Avoid cutting or damaging branches unless absolutely necessary. If pruning is required, have it done by a certified arborist.
  • Watering: Ensure trees receive adequate water during construction, especially if the soil has been disturbed or compacted.
  • Monitoring: Regularly monitor trees for signs of stress or damage during and after construction.
Consulting with a certified arborist during the planning stages of a construction project can help ensure the protection of valuable trees on the site. They can provide expert advice on establishing TPZs, minimizing root disturbance, and mitigating potential impacts on tree health.

Do tree roots grow towards water?

While tree roots do grow towards moisture, it's not a simple case of them actively seeking out water sources. Roots grow in all directions, but they grow more rapidly and extensively in areas where they encounter favorable conditions, including moisture.
Roots have specialized cells called 'root hairs' that absorb water and nutrients from the soil. These root hairs are more abundant in moist soil, so roots naturally extend more in those areas. However, roots also need oxygen to survive, so they will not grow into waterlogged soil. The direction of root growth is influenced by a combination of factors, including moisture, oxygen availability, soil nutrients, and the tree's overall health.

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.
