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 Slate Hill 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 still a good practice to take any tree that has recently lost a good sized limb surveyed by a tree professional who may do a risk evaluation on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of charge. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals carry out 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 offer decreases cooling expenditures in the summer months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. Meanwhile the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees close to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching his house owing to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In cases where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

At times when a tree is too near to a house we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically find 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 way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to conduct some research or consult a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the building before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their proportions trees can dominate much smaller plants. Home-owners ought to pick bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well under a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sunlight. Although it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you love the tree you might just speak with a landscape professional about changing to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the appropriate location can boost a homes worth the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. In many cases we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. However sometimes to enhance the curb appeal we have to resort 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| driveway| etc. Usually in these cases tree removal is the sole option and if you are feeling down about extracting your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it will not mature in our life-time our kids or somebody else’s kids can enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyer or attorneys however this is the way falling trees are often interpreted based upon the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not considered to be negligent or at fault for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable when it comes to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a clause stating that they are not responsible for lifeless or unhealthy 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 clause about dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to place the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many people who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning company with the amount of telephone calls we receive searching for a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Almost 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 recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts cause the water to overflow onto 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 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 simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times as a result of a specific tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the only way to insure a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take out all large trees inside of striking distance. It could be expensive to remove a number of trees near your Slate Hill NY residence and often this gets rid of the fear but leaves some remorse. Often fears could be relieved by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to make sure none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just plant a brand new native tree at a more desirable location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have space on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few seeded in a non harvest area within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
