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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to have every tree that has lost a significant limb inspected by a tree professional that can do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of cost. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate 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” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees offer decreases cooling bills in the summer months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees alongside houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house owing to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having somebody trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Often when a tree is too close to a home we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if lots of 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 remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically select a more suitable location.

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

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their overall size trees can dominate smaller plants. Home owners ought to decide on bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full sunshine. Even though it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you might just consult a landscape company about switching to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the appropriate location can increase a property’s value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. In many cases we can enhance the curb appeal of a building 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. Unfortunately in certain cases to boost the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not really occupy the same site. This is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Generally in these cases tree removal is the sole solution and if you are really feeling depressed about extracting your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it doesn’t mature in our life time our kids or someone else’s children can appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not legal representatives but this is the way in which falling trees are usually interpreted according to the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be neglectful or liable for the tree falling. You dispose of the section of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable with regard to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a provision stating that they are exempt 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 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 protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notification to place the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many individuals that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance company with the amount of telephone calls we get trying to find a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Obstructed downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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 shortly after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We often times remove trees because some people lay awake on windy night-times because of a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to insure a tree will never fall on the home is to remove all large trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be expensive to remove a great deal of trees near your Highland Mills NY residential property and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears could be soothed by having a tree service professional assess the trees to make sure none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree needs to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Simply plant a fresh native tree at a better location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for every single dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few seeded in a non harvest place within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
