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 Otisville 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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to have every tree that has lost a good sized limb inspected by a tree professional that may do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service for free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a real “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees offer lowers cooling bills in the summer and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees close to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching 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 take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

In some cases whenever a tree is too close to a house we will be able to just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be removed it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply figure out a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to conduct some research or hire a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a building 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 new owner to have to pay a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their size trees can dominate small plants. Homeowners ought to select bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full direct sunlight. While it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you might just speak with a landscape professional about switching to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the most appropriate location can increase a property’s value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. In many cases we can enhance the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. However in certain cases to boost the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not occupy the same site. Such is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Normally in these instances tree removal is the only solution and if you are really feeling down about taking out your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it may not mature in our life time our children or somebody else’s kids may appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are not legal representatives but here is the way in which fallen trees are ordinarily translated based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not considered to be negligent or liable for the tree falling. You remove the section of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible with respect to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are actually only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a clause pointing out that they are exempt for dead 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 about dead or diseased trees. On the other 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 professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notification to position the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many individuals who like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning operation with the number of telephone calls we get trying to find a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know typically aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters at all. Obstructed 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. Otherwise 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 oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy nights as a result of a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the sole way to guarantee a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to clear away all big trees inside of striking distance. It may be expensive to remove a lot of trees near your Otisville NY house and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Commonly fears can be relieved by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to make certain none of them have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree has to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply plant a new native tree at a much better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still want to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for every 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 location within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
