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 a good practice to take every tree that has definitely lost a substantial limb surveyed by a tree professional that should do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service for free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees render lowers cooling bills in the hot months and provides a barrier against the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees beside houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone else 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 siding.

Sometimes whenever a tree is very near to a property we will be able to simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be taken off it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just decide 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 building. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to carry out some research or hire a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their size trees can overshadow smaller plants. House owners should go with bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sunlight. Although it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you may speak with a landscape expert about changing to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the proper location can certainly improve a homes resale value the wrong tree can impact property’s value. Oftentimes we can improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. However sometimes 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 site. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Oftentimes in these situations tree removal is the sole choice and if you are really feeling depressed about removing your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it doesn’t mature in our life time our children or someone else’s children can enjoy it.

Liability issues: are certainly not legal representatives but this is the way fallen trees are normally interpreted based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree dropping down. You remove the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only responsible for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that these companies are exempt for perished or diseased trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damage 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 next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very 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 home you can use the written notification to place the expense of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know 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 seeking out a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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 right after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We often times remove trees simply because some people lay awake on windy night-times due to a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the sole way to make certain a tree will never fall on the home is to remove all large trees inside of striking distance. It can be downright costly to remove a lot of trees near your Middletown NY house and often this eases the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears could be appeased by having a tree service expert examine the trees to ensure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree needs to be cleared away you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Simply plant a fresh native tree at a much 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 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 specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few seeded in a non harvest area within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
