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 Rock Tavern 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 idea to take every tree that has definitely lost a large limb checked out by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of charge. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees provide reduces cooling bills in the summer time and provides a barrier from the winter wind. Meanwhile the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenditures to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees next to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone else trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then needed to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

Often if a tree is too near to a home we may simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be cleared away it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically select a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to conduct some research or consult with a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to envisage the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may 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: As a result of their proportions trees can overshadow small plants. Property owners should decide on bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree can be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sun light. Although it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you could speak with a landscape company about switching to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the proper location can easily improve a homes resale value the wrong tree can damage property’s value. In many cases we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Unfortunately sometimes to improve the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not inhabit the very same location. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Generally in these scenarios tree removal is the sole choice and if you are feeling depressed about getting rid of your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it may not mature in our lifespan our kids or somebody else’s kids can appreciate it.

Liability issues: are not attorneys however this is insights on how falling trees are often translated based upon the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree falling. You dispose of the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable with respect to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a clause pointing out that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other 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 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 notification to place the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many people that like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance company with the number of calls we receive trying to find a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Everybody would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced kind I know typically aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are much worse compared to not possessing gutters at all. Clogged up downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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 in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We often times remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy nights as a result of a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the only way to guarantee a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take down all big trees inside of striking distance. It may be pricey to remove a load of trees near your Rock Tavern NY home and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves some remorse. Commonly fears could be appeased by having a tree service expert examine the trees to make certain none of them have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree needs to be taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just simply plant a fresh native tree at a more desirable 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 provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest place within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
