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 Huguenot 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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good practice to have any tree that has definitely lost a large limb inspected by a tree professional who may do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service totally free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees offer reduces cooling expenditures in the summer time and provides a barrier from the winter wind. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees next to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching his house owing to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having somebody trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In cases where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Often whenever a tree is very near to a property we will be able to just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be taken off it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply go with 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 foundation. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to do some research or consult with a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the building 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: Due to their size trees can overshadow much smaller plants. House owners should certainly go with bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunshine. Although it may be less expensive to take out the tree| if you cherish the tree you may consult a landscape professional about changing to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the most appropriate location can boost a property’s market value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Oftentimes we can improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However at times to boost the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not really inhabit the same location. Such is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Oftentimes in these situations tree removal is the only solution and if you are feeling down about getting rid of your beloved tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it doesn’t mature in our lifetime our children or someone else’s children may appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not attorneys but this is insights on how fallen trees are generally translated based upon the law. In the case that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or at fault for the tree falling. You dispose of the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually 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 some insurance policies have a stipulation saying that these companies are exempt for deceased or unhealthy 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 very best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many homeowners who like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning operation with the amount of calls we receive seeking out a good cheap gutter cleaner. Almost everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced ones I know aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to recommend them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not having gutters at all. Obstructed downspouts cause the water to overflow into 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. Alternatively clean them yearly right 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 frequently remove trees simply because some people lay awake on windy nights as a result of a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the only way to make certain a tree does not fall on the house is to clear away all large trees within striking distance. It may be pricey to remove a number of trees near your Huguenot NY house and often this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some regret. Typically fears could be calmed by having a tree service company examine the trees to make certain none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree requires to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just plant a brand-new native tree at a much better location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple sown in a non harvest place within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
