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: 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 have every tree that has likely lost a good sized limb checked by a tree professional who may do a risk evaluation on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide 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 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 which trees provide decreases cooling bills in the summer and provides a buffer from the winter wind. On the other hand the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees beside houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching his house owing to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In situations where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or home siding.

At times when a tree is very near to a property we may simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be removed it could 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 simply decide on 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 building. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to conduct some research or refer to 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 house before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their proportions trees can dominate smaller plants. Home owners should certainly decide on bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sun light. Even though it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you love the tree you may speak with a landscape professional about switching to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the most appropriate location may improve a homes resale value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Often times we can 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. Unfortunately sometimes to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not inhabit the same spot. This is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Generally in these instances tree removal is the only solution and if you are really feeling down about taking out your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our lifetime our kids or someone else’s children can appreciate it.

Liability issues: are certainly not legal representatives but this is insights on how falling trees are commonly interpreted based upon the law. In the case that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the section of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable with regard to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only responsible for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a clause stating that they are not responsible for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to place the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many property owners who like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning company with the quantity of phone calls we get trying to find a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost ones I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are much worse than not having gutters at all. Blocked downspouts trigger 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. Alternatively 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 frequently remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy night-times as a result of a specific tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over the house. The fact is the sole way to insure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to remove all big trees inside of close quarters. It can be pricey to remove a number of trees near your Sterling Forest NY house and often this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Typically fears can be appeased by having a tree service expert assess the trees to make sure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be taken down you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just simply 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 room 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 single dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest area within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
