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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to have any specific tree that has definitely lost a significant limb examined by a tree professional who can do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees provide reduces cooling bills in the summer months and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenditures to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees next to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching his house because a family of squirrels which had penetrated 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 then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or siding.

Occasionally when a tree is very near 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 cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically find 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 other 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 home 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 house before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to have to pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their proportions trees can dominate much smaller plants. Property owners ought to choose bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they need to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sunlight. While it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you could speak with a landscape expert about switching to a different sort of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the most appropriate location may increase a homes resale value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. In many cases we can improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. However at times to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not occupy the very same spot. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Often in these cases tree removal is the sole option and if you are feeling down about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even though it may not mature in our life time our children or somebody else’s kids may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are not legal representatives however here is how falling trees are commonly interpreted according to 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 clear away the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with respect to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a provision stating that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notification to place the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many property owners who like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning business with the amount of phone calls we receive looking for a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap kind I know aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are much worse compared to not possessing gutters at all. Obstructed downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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. Alternatively clean them yearly right after all the leaves have fallen and if 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 stormy night-times as a result of a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the only way to make certain a tree does not fall on the house is to take out all large trees within striking distance. It can possibly be expensive to remove a bunch of trees near your Chester NY house and often this eases the fear but leaves some remorse. Commonly fears could be appeased by having a tree service professional examine 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 has to be taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just simply plant a fresh native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still want to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest site within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
