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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good practice to have every tree that has definitely lost a large limb examined by a tree professional who may do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees provide reduces cooling expenditures in the summer season and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the drop in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees close to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or siding.

At times when a tree is too close to a home we may just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically pick out 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 home. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to do some research or consult a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate 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 next 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 smaller plants. Property owners should certainly pick bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full direct sunlight. Even though it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you love the tree you might just speak with a landscape expert about changing to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the most appropriate location may boost a homes value the inappropriate tree can hurt property’s value. Often times we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. However sometimes to enhance the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not really occupy the very same area. Such is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Often in these cases tree removal is the only solution and if you are feeling down about extracting your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it may not mature in our life time our children or somebody else’s children may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not lawyers however this is how falling trees are typically translated according to the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree falling. You remove 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 responsible for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a stipulation stating that these companies are exempt for dead or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to position the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many property owners that like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning operation with the number of telephone calls we get trying to find a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Almost everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-priced ones I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not having gutters at all. Clogged up downspouts cause 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 right after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We often times remove trees because some people lay awake on blustery nights due to a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the only way to insure a tree does not fall on the house is to clear away all large trees within striking distance. It can be pricey to remove a great deal of trees near your Thompson Ridge NY house and often this eases the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly fears can be relieved by having a tree service professional examine the trees to make sure none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Simply plant a brand-new native tree at a more desirable location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still would like 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. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple sown in a non harvest place within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
