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 take each and every tree that has recently lost a sizable limb looked over by a tree professional who can do a risk assessment on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of charge. 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 property is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees render lowers cooling costs in the summer season and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees near to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house owing to a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Often if a tree is very near to a home we may simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be cleared away it may 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 simply opt for 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 foundation. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to carry out some research or consult a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their proportions trees can dominate much smaller plants. Property owners ought to choose bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunlight. Whilst it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you could consult a landscape professional about changing to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the most appropriate location can certainly improve a homes worth the inappropriate tree can damage property’s value. Oftentimes we can boost the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that in some cases to enhance the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not occupy the same area. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Oftentimes in these cases tree removal is the only option and if you are really feeling depressed about getting rid of your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it does not mature in our life time our children or someone else’s kids may well enjoy it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not lawyers however this is how fallen trees are often interpreted based upon the law. On the assumption that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be negligent or to blame for the tree falling. You clear away the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that they are not responsible for perished or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard 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 house you can use the written notice to place the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many property owners that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance business with the quantity of telephone calls we receive searching for a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Clogged up downspouts trigger the water to overflow into 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. 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 often times remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy night-times due to a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the only way to insure a tree will never fall on the home is to take out all large trees inside of close quarters. It can be costly to remove a load of trees near your Highland Mills NY residential property and often this eases the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Often fears could be calmed by having a tree service pro examine the trees to make certain none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Simply plant a new native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still would like 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 even choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few sown in a non harvest location within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
