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 have any tree that has recently lost a significant limb assessed by a tree professional who should do a risk assessment on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service for 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 make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees render reduces cooling expenditures in the hot months and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees next to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having someone else trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In cases where limbs are actually in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

Sometimes if a tree is very near to a property we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be taken off it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically pick a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. 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 choosing on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the building before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their overall size trees can overshadow small plants. Property owners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs which will tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree could be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full direct sunlight. Although it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you may consult a landscape company about switching to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the right location can easily improve a homes worth the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. Oftentimes we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not inhabit the very same spot. This is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Normally in these circumstances tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are feeling down about taking out your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it does not mature in our lifetime our kids or somebody else’s children can appreciate it.

Liability issues: are not legal professionals however here is insights on how falling trees are generally interpreted based upon the law. Assuming 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 remove the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable for tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only responsible for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a provision saying that they are not responsible for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s 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 next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. 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 do not know many individuals that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance business with the amount of calls we get searching for a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Everybody wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost ones I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse than not having gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts trigger 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 in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy night-times because of a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to make certain a tree will never fall on the home is to remove all large trees inside of striking distance. It can be expensive to remove a lot of trees near your Westtown NY home and often this eases the fear but leaves some regret. Often fears can be appeased by having a tree service pro evaluate the trees to make certain none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be cleared away you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Simply plant a new native tree at a better location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for each 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 place within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
