So why would you want to remove a tree anyway?  As a tree service| tree removal is a lot of what we do.  We love our job but we always want to remove trees for the right reasons. Below is a list of the most common reasons for tree removal in Arden NY.

Dead| Dying| Diseased Trees:  One of the most popular reasons for tree removal is that the tree is dead| dying| and diseased.  This is also the most justifiable reason to for tree removal.  The tree is dead or near death and needs to be removed before it becomes a hazard to people and structures around it. (See Liability Issues below)

Storm Damaged or Injured Trees: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to take any tree that has recently lost a substantial limb looked at by a tree professional who should do a risk assessment on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service for free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees provide reduces cooling costs in the hot months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees near to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching his house owing to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone else trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

At times whenever a tree is too close to a home we may just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically pick a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or building. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always best to do some research or consult with a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to have to pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their scale trees can dominate small plants. Homeowners should decide on bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full direct sunlight. While it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you may consult a landscape expert about changing to a different sort of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the most appropriate location may boost a property’s worth the inappropriate tree can hurt property’s value. Often we can boost the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Unfortunately in certain cases to enhance the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not inhabit the very same location. Such is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Normally in these scenarios tree removal is the only solution and if you are feeling depressed about clearing away your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it may not mature in our life time our children or somebody else’s kids may enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are not legal representatives however this is how fallen trees are usually translated according to the law. In the event that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree falling. You clear away the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated for tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a clause saying that they are not responsible for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to place the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many individuals that like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance operation with the quantity of telephone calls we get looking for a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are much worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Congested downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes these to rot. So that requires you to put in a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Alternatively clean them yearly right after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We frequently remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery nights due to a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the sole way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to clear away all large trees within striking distance. It may be downright costly to remove a lot of trees near your Arden NY house and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly fears can be relieved by having a tree service company examine the trees to ensure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree needs to be removed you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just plant a brand-new native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for each dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest area within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
