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 Vails Gate 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 have every tree that has recently lost a pretty big limb surveyed by a tree professional that may do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of cost. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees render decreases cooling expenditures in the hot months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. Meanwhile the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees near to houses can also make it possible for 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 thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside 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| and afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

In some cases if a tree is very near to a house we may just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be taken off it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply choose a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to carry out some research or consult with a landscape professional when deciding 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 just plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their overall size trees can dominate much smaller plants. Property owners should certainly select bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full sunlight. While it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you love the tree you might just consult a landscape professional about changing to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the correct location can easily improve a property’s resale value the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. Oftentimes we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that in some cases to boost the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not occupy the same area. Such is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Usually in these scenarios tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are really feeling down about clearing away your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it will not mature in our life time our children or somebody else’s children may appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are not lawyers however here is insights on how fallen trees are ordinarily translated based upon the law. If the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be negligent or at fault for the tree dropping down. You remove the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated when it comes to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a provision saying that these companies are not responsible for dead or diseased trees. If this were to happen you could 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 very best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 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 homeowners who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance operation with the amount of telephone calls we receive trying to find a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap kind I know typically aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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 often remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy nights as a result of a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the sole way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take out all big trees within close quarters. It could be costly to remove a number of trees near your Vails Gate NY house and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears can be calmed by having a tree service professional evaluate the trees to ensure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just plant a new native tree at a more desirable 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 make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for every dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few planted in a non harvest site within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
