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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to take any tree that has lost a significant limb assessed by a tree professional who can do a risk assessment on the tree to check 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 necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees offer lowers cooling costs in the summer season and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees near to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone else trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In situations where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

Sometimes if a tree is too close to a house we can simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be removed 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 a different more compact growing tree or basically go with 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 building. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to carry out some research or consult a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to envisage the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their overall size trees can dominate much smaller plants. Property owners should certainly go with bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they need to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sunshine. Even though it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you love the tree you may seek advice from a landscape company about changing to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the proper location can increase a property’s worth the wrong tree can impact property’s value. Often times we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Having said that in some cases to boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not really inhabit the very same site. This is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Usually in these circumstances tree removal is the sole choice and if you are really feeling depressed about taking out your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Even though it does not mature in our life time our children or somebody else’s children may enjoy it.

Liability issues: are not lawyers however this is how fallen trees are generally interpreted based upon the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or to blame for the tree falling. You remove the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a stipulation saying that they are exempt for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can 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 hand if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notification to position the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many people who like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning company with the amount of calls we get searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Everybody wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost kind I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to refer them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters at all. Obstructed downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught behind the gutters causes them to rot. So that requires you to put in 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 oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy nights as a result of a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the sole way to insure a tree does not fall on the house is to clear away all large trees inside of striking distance. It can be expensive to remove a load of trees near your Pine Island NY house and often this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Typically fears can be relieved by having a tree service company evaluate the trees to ensure none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree needs to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. 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 don’t have space 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 every single dollar donated and you can also 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.
