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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to take any specific tree that has lost a large limb looked at by a tree professional who should do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain 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 require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees render reduces cooling expenditures in the hot months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. However the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenditures to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees next to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching on 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 spent a lot of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or siding.

Sometimes when a tree is too near to a home we may just trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just pick a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or building. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised to conduct some research or hire a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to have to locate a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Property owners should go for bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunshine. While it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you cherish the tree you could speak with a landscape company about changing to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the most appropriate location may boost a homes worth the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. Oftentimes we can improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Unfortunately at times to improve the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not occupy the very same site. Such is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Oftentimes in these scenarios tree removal is the only solution and if you are really feeling depressed about removing your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it doesn’t mature in our life time our kids or somebody else’s kids may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are not legal professionals however here is the way fallen trees are typically translated based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be negligent or to blame for the tree falling. You clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable with regard to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only liable for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a stipulation stating that these companies are exempt for dead or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to place the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many property owners who like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance company with the quantity of telephone calls we receive trying to find a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Every one wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost ones I know typically aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Obstructed downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes them to rot. So that requires you to install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Otherwise clean them yearly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy night-times due to a specific tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to guarantee a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take out all big trees within close quarters. It can possibly be expensive to remove a lot of trees near your Westtown NY residential property and often this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Typically fears could be appeased by having a tree service professional evaluate the trees to ensure none of them have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree needs to be taken down 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 sow a tree for each dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple planted in a non harvest area within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
