I see a small maple.. apx 2' high right next to my garage.. I mean less than a foot away. What shld I do... try to remove it... asphalt drive is next to it as is the slab for the garage. I wld like to transplant it. How.

You need to move it, as it grows to a 20 foot tree it will cause issues.

Many varieties of maples are little more than a weed. Sugar maples drop thousands of helocopter like seeds that can even grow in a crack in a side walk. Kill it now by pulling or a shovel full of earth taken from under ir.

Cut it off, pour some undiluted roundup on the stump.findd another seedling in the fall and use that. Maples are notorious root issue trees..
