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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to take every tree that has lost a substantial limb surveyed by a tree professional who can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of cost. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals carry out 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 lowers cooling expenditures in the summer and provides a barrier against the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees close to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having somebody trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or siding.

Often whenever a tree is too near to a home we can just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be taken off it can 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 just simply decide on 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 best to do some research or hire a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the building before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their size trees can overshadow small plants. Home owners ought to go with bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they will have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full direct sunlight. Even though it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you really love the tree you may seek advice from a landscape company about changing to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the right location can boost a homes resale value the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. In many cases we can enhance the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. However in some cases 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 inhabit the very same site. Such is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Oftentimes in these circumstances tree removal is the sole option and if you are feeling depressed about taking out your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it does not mature in our lifetime our children or someone else’s children can take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are not legal professionals but here is the way in which fallen trees are basically interpreted according to the law. On the assumption that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be negligent or at fault for the tree falling. You dispose of the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated when it comes to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a clause saying that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many homeowners that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning company with the number of calls we get looking for a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Everybody would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost ones I know aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Obstructed downspouts cause the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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 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 stormy night-times because of a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the sole way to make sure a tree will never fall on the home is to take down all big trees inside of close quarters. It can possibly be costly to remove a load of trees near your Howells NY residence and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves some regret. Often fears can be soothed by having a tree service pro inspect the trees to make sure none of these have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. 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 want to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for each dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest place within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
