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 Montgomery 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 a good practice to take each and every tree that has recently lost a substantial limb examined by a tree professional that can do a risk evaluation on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of charge. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees provide lowers cooling expenditures in the summer time and provides a barrier from the winter wind. On the other hand the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees next to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having somebody trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In situations where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

At times if a tree is too near to a property we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be removed it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just simply make a decision on 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 building. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to do some research or refer to 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 house before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to locate a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their proportions trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Home owners should choose bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they need to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree can be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sunshine. Although it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you love the tree you could 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 correct location can easily improve a property’s market value the wrong tree can impact a home’s value. Often times we can enhance the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that at times to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not inhabit the same area. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Often in these situations tree removal is the only choice and if you are feeling down about taking out your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it does not mature in our life-time our children or someone else’s children may appreciate it.

Liability issues: are not lawyers however here is the way in which falling trees are commonly translated based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be negligent or liable for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible for 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 unhealthy the neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a clause pointing out that they are not responsible for dead 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 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 professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notification to position the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many property owners that like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning business with the amount of phone calls we receive seeking out a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Almost everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are much worse than not having gutters at all. Obstructed downspouts cause the water to overflow onto 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. Alternatively clean them yearly soon 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 times remove trees because some people lay awake on blustery night-times as a result of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the only way to insure a tree does not fall on the house is to take out all big trees inside of close quarters. It could be downright costly to remove a load of trees near your Montgomery NY residential property and often this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears could be relieved by having a tree service professional evaluate the trees to make sure none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just simply plant a brand new native tree at a much better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for each dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple planted in a non harvest place within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
