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 Arden 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 a good practice to have each and every tree that has definitely lost a substantial limb checked by a tree professional that should do a risk evaluation on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service for free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees render decreases cooling costs in the summer time and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees alongside houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then needed to re-insulate and rewire 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 close to a house we can simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be removed it might 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 decide on a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to conduct some research or consult with a landscape company 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 new owner to require to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their scale trees can dominate smaller plants. Property owners should select bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well under a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunshine. Although it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you might just speak with a landscape professional about changing to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the most appropriate location can easily increase a property’s worth the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Oftentimes we can boost the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Having said that at times to improve the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not really inhabit the same location. This is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Oftentimes in these cases tree removal is the sole solution and if you are feeling down about clearing away your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it doesn’t mature in our lifetime our kids or someone else’s children may appreciate it.

Liability issues: are not attorneys but this is the way falling trees are usually interpreted based upon the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or to blame for the tree dropping down. You remove the part of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated with respect to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only responsible for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a provision saying that they are not responsible for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause about dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to place the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many homeowners that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning company with the number of calls we get seeking out a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Every one would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive kind I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are much worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts trigger the water to overflow into 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 shortly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We frequently remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times as a result of a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the home is to remove all big trees within striking distance. It may be expensive to remove a load of trees near your Arden NY residence and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears can be appeased by having a tree service professional assess the trees to ensure 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 really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just simply plant a brand-new native tree at a more desirable location on your property 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 provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for every dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest area within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
