I just moved to a home on a lake that is 50+ yeare old the dam has alot of trees of all sizes and varieties growing on front top and backside of it. I know that trees are bad for dams because they weaken it and could cause serious probs when they fall ond or die. So what is the best eay to remove them... do the roots need removed? will there be dirt work involved? I know someone is going to say I need to hire a pro which is probably exactly what ill do but Im just trying to get an idea what Im gonna be getting myself into... thanks for your advice in advance
