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 Thompson Ridge 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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to have every tree that has recently lost a significant limb assessed by a tree professional who can do a risk assessment on the tree to check 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 warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees offer decreases cooling bills in the summer time and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees close to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A client of ours had us remove 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 bunch 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 re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Often if a tree is very close to a house we will be able to simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or simply pick out a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to conduct some research or consult with a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their overall size trees can dominate small plants. Property owners should certainly go with bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they need to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree could be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sun light. Even though it may be cheaper 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 spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the most appropriate location can easily improve a property’s worth the inappropriate tree can damage a home’s value. Often times we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However in certain cases to enhance the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not really inhabit the very same area. This is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Normally in these circumstances tree removal is the only choice and if you are really feeling down about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even though it does not mature in our life time our children or someone else’s kids may take joy in it.

Liability issues: are not lawyer or attorneys however here is the way in which falling trees are commonly translated based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or to blame for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated 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 unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a clause saying that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or diseased 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 clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notification to position the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many people who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning business with the quantity of calls we receive looking for a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Every one would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are much worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged 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 install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Or else clean them yearly 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 often remove trees because some people lay awake on blustery night-times due to a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the only way to insure a tree will never fall on the house is to clear away all large trees inside of close quarters. It may be pricey to remove a number of trees near your Thompson Ridge NY home and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves some remorse. Commonly fears could be calmed by having a tree service expert inspect the trees to ensure none of these have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just simply plant a fresh 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 would like to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow 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 couple seeded in a non harvest location within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
