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 Florida 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 each and every tree that has likely lost a sizable limb assessed by a tree professional that should do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain 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 warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees render lowers cooling costs in the summer months and provides a barrier against the winter wind. Meanwhile the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees beside houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone else trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

Sometimes when a tree is too close to a house we can just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be removed it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply pick 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 building. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to do some research or consult a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to envisage the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the building before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their size trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Property owners should certainly select bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well under a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunlight. While it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you might consult a landscape company about switching to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the right location may improve a homes resale value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Often we can boost the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that sometimes to enhance the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not really inhabit the same spot. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Normally in these cases tree removal is the only option and if you are really feeling depressed about clearing away your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our life time our children or someone else’s kids can enjoy it.

Liability issues: Our people are not lawyers but here is how fallen trees are ordinarily interpreted according to the law. In the case that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or at fault for the tree falling. You remove the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable when it comes to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the 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 residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notification to position the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many homeowners that like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance company with the quantity of telephone calls we get searching for a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap kind I know typically aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are more frustrating than not having gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught behind the gutters causes these 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 soon 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 oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on windy night-times due to a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the sole way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the home is to clear away all large trees inside of close quarters. It can be downright costly to remove a bunch of trees near your Florida NY property and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves some remorse. Commonly fears could be appeased by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to ensure none of them have any defects that would make them a more 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 destroyer. Just simply plant a brand new 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 would like to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for each dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest location within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
