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 still a good idea to take each and every tree that has recently lost a pretty big limb checked out by a tree professional who should do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require 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 provide decreases cooling costs in the summer season and provides a barrier against the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees next to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone else trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

Sometimes when a tree is very close to a house we will be able to just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be cleared away it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically opt for a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advised to conduct some research or hire a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a home 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 next owner to have to locate a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their overall size trees can overshadow much smaller plants. House owners ought to choose bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s maximum 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 sunshine. Even though it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you may speak with a landscape professional about changing to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the correct location can improve a property’s worth the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. Oftentimes we can enhance 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 your property from the road. Having said that in some cases to enhance the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not inhabit the very same spot. This is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Usually in these situations tree removal is the only choice and if you are really feeling down about clearing away your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Even though it doesn’t mature in our lifetime our children or somebody else’s kids may take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not lawyer or attorneys but here is how fallen trees are commonly interpreted according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or to blame for the tree dropping down. You remove the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible for 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 neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a clause pointing out that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s residential 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 know 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 neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many people that like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance business with the number of phone calls we get searching for a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost kind I know typically aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to refer them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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. 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 frequently remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy nights due to a specific tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the sole way to insure a tree will never fall on the home is to remove all large trees within close quarters. It may be pricey to remove a great deal of trees near your Highland Mills NY residential property and often this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Typically fears could be appeased by having a tree service professional assess the trees to make certain none of them have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just simply plant a new native tree at a better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you do not have space on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple planted in a non harvest location within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
