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 Monroe 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 significant limb checked by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of cost. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees provide lowers cooling expenditures in the summer months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the reduction in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees next to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A client 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 spent a bunch of money having someone trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or siding.

In some cases whenever a tree is too near to a house we can simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just choose a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised to conduct some research or consult with a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to locate a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their proportions trees can dominate small plants. Property owners ought to decide on bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sunlight. Whilst it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you love the tree you may speak with a landscape expert about changing to a different type 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 inappropriate tree can impact a home’s value. Oftentimes we can improve the curb appeal of a building 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. Having said that at times to enhance the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not really inhabit the same area. Such is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Often in these instances tree removal is the only option and if you are really feeling down about removing your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our life-time our kids or somebody else’s kids may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not attorneys but here is the way fallen trees are basically translated according to the law. In the case that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or to blame for the tree falling. You clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with regard to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are actually only liable for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a stipulation saying that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to position the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many homeowners who like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning operation with the quantity of phone calls we receive trying to find a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Everybody would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-priced kind I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to refer them. Having said that clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts cause the water to overflow into 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. Alternatively clean them yearly shortly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees simply because some people lay awake on windy nights due to a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the sole way to insure a tree does not fall on the house is to take out all big trees within close quarters. It could be pricey to remove a number of trees near your Monroe NY residential property and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves some regret. Often fears can be appeased by having a tree service pro examine the trees to make sure none of them have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just 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 don’t have room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can provide 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. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest place within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
