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 Southfields 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 practice to take any tree that has definitely lost a significant limb surveyed by a tree professional that should do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service totally free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a total “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. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees near to houses can also help 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 penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot 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 rewire the attic. In situations where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or siding.

In some cases when a tree is too close to a house we can just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if lots of limbs need to be cleared away it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more effective 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 can sometimes 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 advisable to conduct some research or consult with a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a home 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 building before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their scale trees can dominate much smaller plants. Property owners should choose bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they need to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sunlight. Even though it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you cherish the tree you might just seek advice from a landscape company about changing to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the correct location can increase a homes market value the wrong tree can impact property’s value. Often we can improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Unfortunately in certain cases to enhance the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not inhabit the same location. This is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Often in these circumstances tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are feeling depressed about removing your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our life time our children or someone else’s children can appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not attorneys but this is the way falling trees are generally translated according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree dropping down. You clear away the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated for tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are actually only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a clause pointing out that these companies are exempt for perished or diseased trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 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 expense of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many homeowners that like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance operation with the amount of calls we get trying to find a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Every one wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive ones I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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. Otherwise clean them yearly soon after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy nights as a result of a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the sole way to insure a tree does not fall on the home is to take out all large trees inside of close quarters. It can possibly be costly to remove a great deal of trees near your Southfields NY property and often this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears can be soothed by having a tree service expert inspect the trees to make sure none of these have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs 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 estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still want to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for every dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few seeded in a non harvest location within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
