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 Pine Island 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: Once in a while storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to have any specific tree that has recently lost a good sized limb surveyed by a tree professional that can do a risk assessment on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of charge. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees render lowers cooling costs in the summer season and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees alongside houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having someone trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

In some cases when a tree is too close to a home we may just trim or cut back 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 which case it may be better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just select 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 building. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advised to do some research or consult with a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their scale trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Home owners should go with bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sunlight. Although it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you cherish the tree you may speak with a landscape company about switching to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the most appropriate location can easily increase a property’s worth 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 basically getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Unfortunately in some cases to boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not really inhabit the same site. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Generally in these instances tree removal is the sole option and if you are really feeling depressed about extracting your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even if it will not mature in our lifetime our children or someone else’s kids may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are not legal representatives but here is how falling trees are often interpreted according to the law. In the case that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not considered 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 with regard to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a provision pointing out that these companies are not responsible for perished or diseased trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to position 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 cleaning business with the number of calls we receive seeking out a good affordable gutter cleaner. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are worse compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged up downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes these 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 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 stormy nights due to a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the only way to guarantee a tree does not fall on the home is to clear away all big trees within close quarters. It can be pricey to remove a number of trees near your Pine Island NY residential property and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves some remorse. Commonly fears could be relieved by having a tree service expert examine the trees to make certain none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just simply plant a fresh native tree at a more desirable location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still want to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for every dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest place within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
