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 Howells 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 practice to have any specific tree that has recently lost a substantial limb examined by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide 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 offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees render decreases cooling costs in the summer and provides a barrier against the winter wind. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees next to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having somebody trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

Occasionally whenever a tree is very near to a property we may just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be taken off it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just settle on a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to do some research or hire a landscape company when choosing 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 just plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their size trees can dominate smaller plants. Property owners should certainly go for bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they need to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full direct sunlight. Whilst it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you may consult a landscape company about switching to a different type of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the appropriate location can certainly boost a property’s worth the wrong tree can impact property’s value. In many cases we can 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 home from the road. Unfortunately in some cases to improve the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not inhabit the very same area. This is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Often in these circumstances tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are feeling down about removing your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it will not mature in our life time our kids or somebody else’s kids may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyers but this is the way fallen trees are normally translated according to the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be neglectful or to blame for the tree falling. You clear away the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable with respect to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a clause pointing out that they are exempt for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about 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 know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. 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 people that like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance company with the number of telephone calls we receive looking for a good affordable gutter cleaner. Almost everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost ones I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not having gutters at all. Clogged downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes them 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 in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees because some people lay awake on windy nights as a result of a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the sole way to guarantee a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to clear away all large trees inside of striking distance. It can be downright costly to remove a great deal of trees near your Howells NY house and often this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears can be soothed by having a tree service company inspect the trees to make certain none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be cleared away you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just simply 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 do not have space on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple sown in a non harvest area within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
