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 Sterling Forest 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 still a good practice to take every tree that has lost a significant limb checked by a tree professional that may do a risk assessment on the tree to ensure that 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 carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a real “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees offer reduces cooling expenditures in the summer and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees near to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone else trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or home siding.

At times if a tree is very near to a house we can just trim or cut back 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 simply pick out a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always best to do some research or refer to a landscape professional when choosing 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 may plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their overall size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Property owners ought to select bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunshine. Although it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you cherish the tree you may seek advice from a landscape company about switching to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the most appropriate location may boost a homes market value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Often we can boost the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that sometimes to improve the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not really inhabit the same area. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Usually in these situations tree removal is the only alternative and if you are feeling down about removing your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it doesn’t mature in our life time our children or someone else’s kids may enjoy it.

Liability issues: are not lawyer or attorneys however here is how fallen trees are basically translated based upon the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or to blame for the tree dropping down. You clear away the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with respect 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 dead or diseased the neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that these companies are exempt for perished or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can 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 side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to advise 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 residence you can use the written notice to position the expense of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many individuals that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning business with the amount of phone calls we receive looking for a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive kind I know aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are much worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Clogged up downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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. Otherwise clean them yearly shortly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We frequently remove trees simply because some people lay awake on windy night-times as a result of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the sole way to guarantee a tree does not fall on the house is to take out all large trees within close quarters. It can possibly be expensive to remove a number of trees near your Sterling Forest NY home and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly fears could be appeased by having a tree service company assess the trees to ensure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just plant a brand-new native tree at a far better 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 grow a tree for every dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest area within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
