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 Chester 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: Once in a while storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to have every tree that has recently lost a large limb assessed by a tree professional who should do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees provide lowers cooling costs in the summer months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees beside 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 on his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having someone else trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

Occasionally if a tree is very close to a house we can simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be removed it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply consider a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised to carry out some research or refer to a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a property 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 property before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to have to pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their scale trees can overshadow smaller plants. Home-owners ought to select bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well under a tree could be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full direct sunlight. Even though it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you love the tree you might speak with a landscape company about changing to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the right location can easily boost a property’s worth the inappropriate tree can damage property’s value. Often we can enhance 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 the house from the road. However sometimes to enhance the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not really occupy the same site. This is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Oftentimes in these situations tree removal is the only option and if you are feeling down about taking out your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it will not mature in our lifespan our children or somebody else’s kids can enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyer or attorneys but here is the way in which fallen trees are normally translated according to the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or at fault for the tree falling. You remove the section of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a clause pointing out that these companies are not responsible for perished or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many homeowners that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning business with the number of phone calls we receive trying to find a good affordable gutter cleaner. Everybody would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost kind I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught behind the gutters causes these to rot. So that requires you to install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Or else clean them yearly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy night-times as a result of a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the sole way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take out all large trees within close quarters. It could be expensive to remove a lot of trees near your Chester NY property and often this eases the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Often fears can be soothed by having a tree service professional assess the trees to ensure none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just plant a new native tree at a more desirable location on your estate and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you do not have space on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a few seeded in a non harvest location within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
