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 Middletown 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 take any tree that has definitely lost a pretty big limb examined by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees provide decreases cooling bills in the summertime and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees close to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having somebody trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or home siding.

In some cases whenever a tree is very close to a house we can just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be removed it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just 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 building. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to conduct some research or consult a landscape company 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 just plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to pay a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their overall size trees can overshadow much smaller plants. House owners should decide on bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they need to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sunshine. While it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you love the tree you might just 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 improve a homes resale value the wrong tree can impact property’s value. Often 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 house from the road. Having said that in certain cases to enhance the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not really inhabit the same area. This is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Often in these circumstances tree removal is the only solution and if you are feeling depressed about getting rid of your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it may not mature in our lifetime our kids or somebody else’s kids may enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are not attorneys but here is the way fallen trees are ordinarily interpreted based upon 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 dropping down. You remove the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible for tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that they are not responsible for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damage 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 neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional 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 next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many property owners who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance company with the number of calls we receive searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to refer them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are much worse compared to not possessing 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. Alternatively clean them yearly right 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 windy night-times as a result of a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the only way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the home is to take out all large trees inside of striking distance. It may be costly to remove a lot of trees near your Middletown NY property and often this eases the fear but leaves some regret. Often fears can be relieved by having a tree service professional assess the trees to ensure none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has to be taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just simply plant a brand-new native tree at a more desirable location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have room 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 single dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest site within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
