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 Westtown 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 a good idea to take any tree that has definitely lost a substantial limb looked at by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk evaluation 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 require tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees offer decreases cooling expenditures in the summer months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees alongside houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching his house owing to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having somebody trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or home siding.

Often when a tree is very close to a home we will be able to just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be taken off it can 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 just pick out a more suitable location.

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

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their overall size trees can dominate smaller plants. House owners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they need to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full direct sunlight. Whilst it may be less expensive to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you may speak with a landscape professional about switching to a different type of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the appropriate location may boost a property’s worth the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. Oftentimes we can improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. However in certain cases to improve 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 spot. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Generally in these scenarios tree removal is the only solution and if you are feeling down about taking out your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it does not mature in our lifespan our kids or somebody else’s kids may appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyer or attorneys but here is insights on how falling trees are generally interpreted based upon the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be negligent or liable for the tree dropping down. You remove the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a clause stating that they are exempt for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can 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 hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to advise 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 home you can use the written notice to position the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many homeowners that like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning company with the number of calls we get searching for a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost ones I know aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes these to rot. So that requires you to install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Alternatively 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 frequently remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy night-times because of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the sole way to make sure a tree will never fall on the home is to clear away all large trees within close quarters. It can be downright costly to remove a load of trees near your Westtown NY residence and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears can be calmed by having a tree service expert examine the trees to ensure none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be taken down you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. 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 space 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 even choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a few planted in a non harvest site within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
