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 Chester 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 take any tree that has definitely lost a good sized limb looked at by a tree professional who should do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain 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 necessitate 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” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees provide lowers cooling expenditures in the hot months and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees beside houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house due to the fact that 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 someone else 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 attic. In cases where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or home siding.

In some cases when a tree is very near to a home we will be able to just trim or cut back 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 that case it may be more suitable to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply figure out a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they might 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 carry out some research or hire a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a home 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 house before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their overall size trees can dominate small plants. Property owners ought to decide on bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they will have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full direct sunlight. Although it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might just speak with a landscape expert about changing to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the correct location may improve a property’s resale value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Oftentimes we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that sometimes to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not occupy the same area. This is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Usually in these cases tree removal is the sole option and if you are feeling depressed about taking out your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it may not mature in our life time our children or somebody else’s kids may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are not legal representatives but this is how falling trees are typically translated based upon the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be negligent or at fault for the tree dropping down. You remove the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable with regard 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 unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a clause pointing out that these companies are not responsible for perished 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 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 assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to place the expense of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many homeowners that like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning company with the number of calls we get trying to find a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to recommend them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are much worse compared to not possessing gutters at all. Blocked 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. 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 often remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery nights as a result of a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the sole way to make certain a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take out all large trees inside of striking distance. It may be costly to remove a load of trees near your Chester NY property and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves behind some regret. Typically fears could be relieved by having a tree service pro assess the trees to make certain none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be taken down you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just plant a new native tree at a more desirable 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 make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for each dollar donated and you can also specify 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 and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
