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 Central Valley 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 a good idea to take any specific tree that has lost a large limb assessed by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of charge. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees provide decreases cooling expenditures in the hot months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. Meanwhile the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees near to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having somebody trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or home siding.

At times when a tree is too close to a house we can just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be cleared away it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply select a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to carry out some research or consult a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to pay a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their proportions trees can overshadow much smaller plants. House owners should pick bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they need to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sunshine. Even though it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you could consult a landscape professional about switching to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the proper location can easily increase a homes value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Oftentimes we can improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Having said that at times to boost the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not really occupy the very same area. This is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Generally in these situations tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling depressed about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it may not mature in our lifespan our children or somebody else’s children can appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are not legal professionals but here is insights on how fallen trees are ordinarily interpreted according to the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree falling. You dispose of the part of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable with respect to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a clause stating that they are exempt for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may 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 flip side if you have a next-door 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 assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notification to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many property owners who like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance company with the number of phone calls we get trying to find a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Everybody wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced ones I know aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are much worse than not possessing gutters at all. Clogged up downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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. Alternatively clean them yearly after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We often times remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy night-times because of a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the sole way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take out all big trees inside of close quarters. It may be costly to remove a great deal of trees near your Central Valley NY residential property and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly fears could be relieved by having a tree service pro examine the trees to ensure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be removed 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 renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still want 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 specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest location within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
