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 Howells 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 still a good idea to take any specific tree that has likely lost a large limb inspected by a tree professional who should do a risk evaluation on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of charge. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require 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” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees render decreases cooling expenditures in the summer time and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees close to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having somebody trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or siding.

In some cases when a tree is too close to a house we can simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be cleared away it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be far better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply 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 foundation. Since there is no way to stop 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 might plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their scale trees can overshadow smaller plants. Home owners ought to select bushes or shrubs which will tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sun light. Whilst it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you could seek advice from a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the proper location can easily boost a homes resale value the inappropriate tree can hurt property’s value. In many cases we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Unfortunately in certain cases to enhance the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not occupy the same site. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Oftentimes in these scenarios tree removal is the sole solution and if you are feeling down about removing your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our lifetime our kids or someone else’s kids may enjoy it.

Liability issues: are certainly not lawyers but here is the way falling trees are normally interpreted based upon the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or to blame for the tree dropping down. You remove the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible for tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a stipulation stating that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you can 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 hand if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to position the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many property owners who like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning business with the number of telephone calls we get looking for a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap kind I know aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to recommend them. Having said that clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not having gutters at all. Obstructed downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught behind the gutters causes them 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 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 because some people lay awake on blustery nights because of a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the sole way to make certain a tree does not fall on the home is to take out all big trees inside of close quarters. It can be pricey to remove a bunch of trees near your Howells NY home and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears can be appeased by having a tree service company inspect the trees to make sure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree needs to be taken down you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just simply plant a fresh native tree at a better location on your estate and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still wish 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 specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few seeded in a non harvest location within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
