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: Occasionally 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 lost a pretty big limb checked out by a tree professional who may do a risk assessment 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 most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees provide lowers cooling costs in the hot months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees next to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having somebody trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

At times if a tree is too near to a home we will be able to simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be taken off it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just simply consider a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes 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 advised to do some research or refer to a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their overall size trees can dominate smaller plants. Property owners ought to go for bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree could be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sunlight. While it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might just consult a landscape professional about switching to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the most appropriate location may improve a homes resale value the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. Often times we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Unfortunately sometimes to boost the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not really occupy the same area. Such is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Usually in these cases tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are really feeling depressed about extracting your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it doesn’t mature in our lifetime our children or someone else’s kids may appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are not lawyer or attorneys however here is the way in which falling trees are usually interpreted based upon the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or liable for the tree dropping down. You remove the section of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible with regard to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a clause saying that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or diseased 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 concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notification to place the expense of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many individuals that like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance operation with the number of calls we receive searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost ones I know typically aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters at all. Clogged up downspouts cause 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. Otherwise clean them yearly soon 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 blustery night-times as a result of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the only way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the home is to remove all big trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be costly to remove a great deal of trees near your Chester NY house and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves some remorse. Commonly fears could be appeased by having a tree service pro inspect the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree has to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Simply plant a new native tree at a more desirable location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have room 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 planted in a non harvest place within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
