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 idea to have any tree that has recently lost a pretty big limb looked over by a tree professional who can do a risk assessment on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees offer reduces cooling costs in the summer months and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees close to 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 gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone else 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 situations where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

In some cases 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 a lot of limbs need to be taken off it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply think about 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 property. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to carry out some research or hire a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a building 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 next owner to require to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their overall size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Home-owners should decide on bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they will have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full direct sunlight. While it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might consult a landscape company about changing to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the appropriate location can certainly increase a homes worth the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Often times we can boost 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 the house from the road. Having said that in some cases to boost the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not occupy the same site. Such is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Usually in these cases tree removal is the only solution and if you are feeling depressed about extracting your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it will not mature in our lifespan our children or someone else’s children may enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyer or attorneys but this is the way falling trees are generally translated based upon the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or liable for the tree dropping down. You remove the section of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only responsible for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a clause stating that they are exempt for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you could 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 other side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to notify 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 house you can use the written notification to position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many property owners that like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance operation with the amount of phone calls we receive looking for a good affordable gutter cleaner. Almost everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are much worse compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Congested 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. Or else 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 expert.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on windy night-times as a result of a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the sole way to insure a tree does not fall on the home is to remove all big trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be expensive to remove a great deal of trees near your Thompson Ridge NY residence and often this alleviates the fear but leaves some regret. Often fears can be appeased by having a tree service professional evaluate the trees to make certain none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has to be removed you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just plant a brand new native tree at a far better location on your estate and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still want to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant 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 few sown in a non harvest area within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
