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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good practice to have every tree that has likely lost a significant limb assessed 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 free of cost. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees render reduces cooling costs in the summer months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees alongside houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching his house because a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In cases where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or home siding.

In some cases if a tree is very close to a home we will be able to simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be removed it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply think about a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to do some research or consult a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a building 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 next owner to have to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their scale trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Home owners should certainly go with bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they need to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full direct sunlight. Even though it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you might seek advice from a landscape company about switching to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the correct location can easily improve a property’s value the wrong tree can damage a home’s value. In many cases we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Having said that at times to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not really occupy the same site. Such is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Usually in these situations tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling depressed about taking out your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it may not mature in our life time our children or someone else’s children can appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not legal representatives however this is how falling trees are commonly interpreted according to the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree dropping down. You clear away the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated with respect to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only responsible for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a provision stating that they are exempt for deceased 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 about dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notification to position the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many individuals that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning company with the number of phone calls we receive searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive ones I know aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to recommend them. Having said that clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters at all. Congested 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 put in a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Otherwise 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 oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on windy nights because of a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over the house. The fact is the only way to insure a tree will never fall on the house is to take down all large trees within striking distance. It can be costly to remove a lot of trees near your Arden NY house and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly fears could be relieved by having a tree service professional evaluate the trees to make certain none of these have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree needs to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just simply plant a new native tree at a far better location on your estate 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 plant a tree for each 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 cultivated in a non harvest site within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
