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 still a good practice to take each and every tree that has likely lost a substantial limb examined by a tree professional who should do a risk assessment on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service totally free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

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

Sometimes if a tree is very close to a property we can just trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just settle on a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advised to do some research or consult with a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a house 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 subsequent owner to have to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their size trees can overshadow smaller plants. House owners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they will have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree can be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full sunlight. While it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you might just consult a landscape expert about switching to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the appropriate location can increase a property’s resale value the inappropriate tree can impact 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 merely clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your 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 often 2 things can not really inhabit the very same area. This is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Usually in these situations tree removal is the only alternative and if you are feeling depressed about extracting your beloved tree you can always plant another one. Even though it does not mature in our life time our children or someone else’s children can take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyers however here is insights on how falling trees are usually translated based upon the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree falling. You remove the part of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated with respect 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 perished or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that they are not responsible for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you may 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 very best way to safeguard 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 residence you can use the written notice to position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many people that like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning business with the quantity of telephone calls we get looking for a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost ones I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to recommend them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are more frustrating than not having gutters at all. Obstructed downspouts cause 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. Otherwise clean them yearly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees because some people lay awake on blustery nights due to a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the only way to guarantee a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take down all large trees within striking distance. It may be expensive to remove a great deal of trees near your Chester NY residence and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears can be calmed by having a tree service professional inspect the trees to ensure none of these have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just plant a fresh native tree at a better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore 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 sow a tree for each dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple planted in a non harvest area within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
