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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to have any specific tree that has lost a good sized limb assessed by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of cost. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees render reduces cooling bills in the summer time and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees next 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 remove some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In situations where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

Occasionally if a tree is very close to a house we will be able to simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be cleared away it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or simply pick 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 building. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to conduct some research or hire a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their scale trees can dominate much smaller plants. Home-owners should select bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they will have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sun light. While it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you could consult a landscape company about switching to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the correct location may increase a homes resale value the inappropriate tree can hurt property’s value. Often we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that sometimes to enhance the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not inhabit the same location. This is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Usually in these circumstances tree removal is the sole 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 life time our children or someone else’s children can take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not lawyer or attorneys but here is the way in which falling trees are basically translated based upon the law. In the case that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or liable for the tree falling. You dispose of the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with respect to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a clause pointing out that they are not responsible for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you may 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 safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to position the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many property owners that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance operation with the number of telephone calls we receive searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Every one would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive kind I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught behind the gutters causes these to rot. So that requires you to install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Or else 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 frequently remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy nights because of a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the only way to insure a tree does not fall on the house is to take out all big trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be costly to remove a great deal of trees near your Arden NY home and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears could be calmed by having a tree service pro inspect the trees to make sure none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has to be taken down you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Simply plant a new native tree at a better location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for each dollar donated and you can also 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 or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
