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 Highland Mills 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: Once in a while storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to have every tree that has recently lost a substantial limb examined by a tree professional that may do a risk evaluation on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service for free. Injured trees are most 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 house is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees offer decreases cooling bills in the summer and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees alongside houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having someone else trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or siding.

Sometimes when a tree is very near to a home we will be able to just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home 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 far better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or simply pick out a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or building. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to carry out some research or consult with a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a building 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 next owner to have to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their size trees can dominate much smaller plants. Home owners should certainly go for bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full sunlight. Even though it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you love the tree you might just seek advice from a landscape expert about changing to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the right location can certainly improve a property’s resale value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. In many cases we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. However sometimes to improve the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not inhabit the very same site. This is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Normally in these circumstances tree removal is the sole choice and if you are really feeling down about removing your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it may not mature in our lifetime our children or someone else’s kids can enjoy it.

Liability issues: are not lawyer or attorneys but here is the way in which falling trees are often translated according to the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously 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 responsible for tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only liable for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a stipulation saying that they are not responsible for perished or diseased 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 stipulation about 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 know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notification to position the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many individuals who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning business with the number of telephone calls we receive seeking out a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Everybody would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to recommend them. Having said that clogged gutters are more frustrating than not possessing gutters at all. Obstructed 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 install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Or else clean them yearly 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 oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times due to a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the sole way to make certain a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to remove all big trees within close quarters. It can be downright costly to remove a number of trees near your Highland Mills NY home and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears could be relieved by having a tree service pro examine the trees to make sure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just plant a fresh 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 space on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make 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. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest location within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
