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 practice to take any tree that has definitely lost a sizable limb assessed by a tree professional that can do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of charge. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees render reduces cooling bills in the summer season and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees close to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

Often when a tree is too near to a property we can just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be cleared away it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically opt for a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to carry out some research or consult a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to envisage the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their proportions trees can dominate much smaller plants. Home owners should pick bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full direct sunlight. Although it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you really love the tree you might seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the appropriate location can certainly increase a homes market value the wrong tree can impact property’s value. Often we can boost the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Having said that at times to boost the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not occupy the same area. Such is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Often in these circumstances tree removal is the only option and if you are feeling depressed about taking out your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it will not mature in our life-time our kids or someone else’s kids may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are not legal representatives however this is the way in which fallen trees are basically translated according to the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be neglectful or to blame for the tree dropping down. You clear away the section of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable for tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that these companies are exempt for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect 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 home you can use the written notification to place the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many homeowners who like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning business with the amount of telephone calls we receive seeking out a good cheap gutter cleaner. Everybody would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced kind I know typically aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to recommend them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are worse compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts cause the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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. Or else 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 simply because some people lay awake on windy nights because of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the sole way to make certain a tree will never fall on the house is to take down all big trees inside of striking distance. It may be downright costly to remove a lot of trees near your Thompson Ridge NY property and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Commonly fears can be soothed by having a tree service pro evaluate the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Simply plant a fresh native tree at a better 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 want 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 cultivated in a non harvest area within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
