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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to take each and every tree that has lost a large limb checked out by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer 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 offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees offer lowers cooling expenditures in the summer and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees next to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into 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 tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In situations where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

At times if a tree is too close to a home we may simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more suitable to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply pick out a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to conduct some research or refer to a landscape company 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 may plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to have to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their scale trees can overshadow small plants. Property owners should pick bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sunshine. Whilst it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you might consult a landscape company about changing to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the proper location can certainly boost a property’s market value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Oftentimes we can enhance the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. However in some cases to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not inhabit the same area. This is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Generally in these situations tree removal is the sole option and if you are really feeling down about clearing away your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it will not mature in our life-time our children or somebody else’s children can appreciate it.

Liability issues: are certainly not lawyers but here is the way fallen trees are typically interpreted according to the law. In the case that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or at fault for the tree falling. You remove the part 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 actually only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a clause pointing out that they are exempt for dead 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 concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a next-door 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 assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to position the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many individuals that like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning operation with the amount of telephone calls we receive searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Every one wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are much worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Congested downspouts trigger 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 simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times as a result of a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the sole way to make sure a tree will never fall on the house is to take out all large trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be expensive to remove a lot of trees near your Highland Mills NY home and often this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Often fears can be relieved by having a tree service pro examine the trees to make sure none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just simply plant a fresh native tree at a far better location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow 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 couple sown in a non harvest place within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
