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 still a good practice to take any tree that has recently lost a large limb looked at by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of cost. Injured trees are more 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 that trees offer reduces cooling expenditures in the summer season and provides a buffer against the winter wind. Meanwhile the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees beside houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having somebody trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

In some cases when a tree is too close to a house we may simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if lots of limbs need to be taken off it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just simply consider a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to do some research or consult 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 just plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to pay a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their overall size trees can dominate small plants. Home owners should choose bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well under a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sunshine. Although it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you may consult a landscape expert about switching to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the proper location can increase a property’s market value the wrong tree can damage a home’s value. In many cases we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Unfortunately in some cases to boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not inhabit the very same location. This is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Usually in these situations tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are feeling down about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even if it does not mature in our lifetime our children or someone else’s kids may enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyer or attorneys however this is the way fallen trees are basically interpreted based upon the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree dropping down. You clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible with regard to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a provision saying that they are exempt for perished or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause about dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a 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 evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notification to position the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many property owners that like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance business with the number of calls we get looking for a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-priced ones I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to refer them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are much worse than not having gutters at all. Clogged up downspouts cause the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water caught behind the gutters causes these to rot. So that requires you to put in a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Otherwise clean them yearly shortly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on blustery nights because of a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the sole way to make certain a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to clear away all large trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be pricey to remove a bunch of trees near your Westtown NY residential property and often this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some regret. Typically fears can be relieved by having a tree service professional evaluate the trees to make certain none of them have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree requires to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just simply plant a fresh native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for each 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 cultivated in a non harvest area within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
