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 any tree that has likely lost a substantial limb evaluated by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of cost. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees offer decreases cooling bills in the summer months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. Meanwhile the drop in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees alongside houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having someone else trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

At times when a tree is very near to a property we may simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be removed it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just pick out 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 property. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advised to conduct some research or consult with a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a house 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 property before it reaches maturity leaving the new 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. Property owners should go with bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they will have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full direct sunlight. Whilst it may be less expensive to take out the tree| if you really love the tree you might just speak with a landscape expert about changing to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the proper location may boost a homes value the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. Often we can boost the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. However at times to improve the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not really occupy the same spot. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Usually in these scenarios tree removal is the only option and if you are feeling depressed about extracting your beloved tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it will not mature in our life-time our kids or someone else’s kids may appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are not legal representatives but here is how falling trees are often interpreted according to the law. In the event that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or to blame for the tree falling. You clear away the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable with respect to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only responsible for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a provision stating that these companies are exempt for dead or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause 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 know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notification to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many individuals who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance operation with the amount of telephone calls we receive looking for a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive kind I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to recommend them. Having said that clogged gutters are worse than not having gutters whatsoever. 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. Otherwise clean them yearly shortly 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 windy night-times due to a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to insure a tree will never fall on the home is to take down all big trees inside of close quarters. It could be downright costly to remove a load of trees near your Highland Mills NY residence and often this eases the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly fears can be soothed by having a tree service expert assess the trees to ensure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree needs to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Simply plant a fresh native tree at a better location on your estate 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 provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for every dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest location within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
