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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to have any tree that has lost a pretty big limb looked over by a tree professional who can do a risk assessment on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of cost. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees offer lowers cooling bills in the summer season and provides a buffer from the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees alongside houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having somebody 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 scenarios where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or home siding.

Occasionally if a tree is too close to a property we may just trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be taken off it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just go for a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may 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 advised to carry out some research or consult with a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to require to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their overall size trees can dominate smaller plants. Homeowners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they will have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full direct sunlight. Whilst it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you may seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the right location can certainly boost a property’s value the wrong tree can impact a home’s value. Often times we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Unfortunately at times to boost the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not really occupy the same location. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Oftentimes in these instances tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are feeling down about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it may not mature in our lifespan our kids or somebody else’s children can appreciate it.

Liability issues: are not legal representatives but this is the way in which falling trees are commonly translated based upon the law. In the case that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or liable for the tree falling. You remove the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable with regard to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a provision pointing out that they are exempt for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you may 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 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 evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence 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 gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance business 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 low-priced kind I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to recommend them. Having said that clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters at all. Obstructed 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 shortly after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that 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 stormy nights because of a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the only way to make sure a tree does not fall on the house is to remove all big trees within striking distance. It can be downright costly to remove a great deal of trees near your Southfields NY residence and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears can be calmed by having a tree service professional assess the trees to make certain none of them have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree requires to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just simply plant a new native tree at a more desirable location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every single 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 sown in a non harvest location within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
