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 Highland Mills 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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to have any tree that has likely lost a significant limb surveyed by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of cost. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees offer lowers cooling bills 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 maintenance bills to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees close to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

At times when a tree is too close to a property we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be taken off it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more suitable to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just choose a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to conduct some research or hire a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their overall size trees can dominate smaller plants. Property owners should go for bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they will have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sun light. While it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you could consult a landscape professional about switching to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the appropriate location can boost a homes market value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Oftentimes we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Having said that sometimes to enhance the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not occupy the very same spot. Such is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Oftentimes in these cases tree removal is the only alternative and if you are feeling depressed about extracting your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it may not mature in our life-time our kids or someone else’s kids may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not lawyer or attorneys but here is how falling trees are normally interpreted according to the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be negligent or liable for the tree dropping down. You clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only responsible for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that these companies are not responsible for dead or diseased trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 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 position the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many homeowners that like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning business with the quantity of calls we get trying to find a good cheap gutter cleaner. Almost everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know typically aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts trigger the water to overflow into 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 soon after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We frequently remove trees simply because some people lay awake on windy nights as a result of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over the house. The fact is the sole way to guarantee a tree does not fall on the house is to remove all large trees inside of striking distance. It may be expensive to remove a lot of trees near your Highland Mills NY house and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves behind some regret. Typically fears can be soothed by having a tree service company examine the trees to ensure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree requires to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just plant a brand-new native tree at a better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still wish 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 also specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest place within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
