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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to take every tree that has definitely lost a sizable limb surveyed by a tree professional that should do a risk evaluation on the tree to check 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 almost all true tree service professionals make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees render reduces cooling bills in the summer season and provides a buffer from the winter wind. Meanwhile the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees next to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching his house owing to 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 else trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In situations where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or siding.

Sometimes whenever a tree is too near to a property we will be able to simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be cleared away it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically go with 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 foundation. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always best to conduct some research or consult with a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to envisage the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the building before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to locate a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their size trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Home-owners should certainly pick bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they need to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full direct sunlight. Whilst it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you may seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the right location may boost a property’s resale value the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. In many cases we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a building 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 some cases to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not really inhabit the same location. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Usually in these situations tree removal is the sole solution and if you are feeling depressed about extracting your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it may not mature in our lifetime our kids or somebody else’s children can take joy in it.

Liability issues: are not lawyer or attorneys but here is the way in which fallen trees are typically translated based upon the law. On the assumption that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree falling. You remove the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable for tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a provision saying that they are not responsible for lifeless or diseased 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 clause about dead or diseased trees. On the flip 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 find out 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 don’t know many property owners who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning operation with the amount of calls we receive searching for a good cheap gutter cleaner. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive kind I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are much worse compared to not having gutters at all. Clogged up downspouts trigger the water to overflow into 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 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 oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy nights as a result of a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the sole way to insure a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take out all big trees inside of striking distance. It can be pricey to remove a great deal of trees near your Middletown NY residence and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Typically fears can be relieved by having a tree service company examine the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree requires to be removed you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just plant a fresh native tree at a much better location on your estate and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you do not have space on your property but still would like 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. Fell a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest place within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
