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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to take any tree that has lost a pretty big limb checked by a tree professional who may do a risk evaluation on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service for free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a real “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees render lowers cooling expenditures in the summer time and provides a barrier against the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees close to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone 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 cases where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

At times whenever a tree is very near to a home we can simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be far better to take out the tree and plant another 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 could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised to conduct some research or hire a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend 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 subsequent owner to require to pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their proportions trees can dominate much smaller plants. Property owners should decide on bushes or shrubs which will tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sunlight. While it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you might seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the most appropriate location can certainly increase a property’s resale value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Often times we can improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Unfortunately at times to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not really inhabit the same spot. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Normally in these scenarios tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are feeling down about clearing away your beloved tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it will not mature in our life time our children or someone else’s children may take joy in it.

Liability issues: are certainly not legal professionals but this is insights on how falling trees are ordinarily interpreted based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree falling. You clear away 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 property. You are only responsible for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a provision pointing out that these companies are not responsible for deceased or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notification to place the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many individuals that like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance company with the number of calls we get searching for a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap kind I know aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water caught behind the gutters causes these to rot. So that requires you to put in 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 frequently remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy night-times as a result of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the only way to guarantee a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take down all large trees within close quarters. It may be pricey to remove a number of trees near your Otisville NY property and often this alleviates the fear but leaves some remorse. Often fears can be appeased by having a tree service expert inspect the trees to make certain 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 do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just plant a brand-new native tree at a better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t 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 each dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest area within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
