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 Johnson 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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to take any tree that has lost a sizable limb checked by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service for free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees offer decreases cooling bills in the hot months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can add 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 beside houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching his house owing to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having someone trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In situations where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

Often if a tree is too close to a home we may simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if many 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 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 foundation. 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 anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their proportions trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Home-owners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs which will tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they will have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunlight. While it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you could speak with a landscape company about switching to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the right location can increase a property’s resale value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Often we can enhance the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that sometimes to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not really occupy the very same spot. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Generally in these scenarios tree removal is the sole option and if you are really feeling down about taking out your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it may not mature in our life time our kids or someone else’s children may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not attorneys but here is how falling trees are usually translated according to the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or liable for the tree falling. You remove the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable with regard to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a clause pointing out that these companies are exempt for perished or diseased trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to position the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many property owners that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning business with the amount of phone calls we get searching for a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced kind I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are much worse than not having gutters whatsoever. Blocked 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 install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Otherwise clean them yearly soon after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times due to a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the sole way to guarantee a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take out all large trees inside of striking distance. It could be downright costly to remove a number of trees near your Johnson NY home and often this eases the fear but leaves some remorse. Typically fears could be soothed by having a tree service company inspect the trees to make certain none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has to be removed you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just simply plant a brand new native tree at a more desirable location on your estate and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow 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 few seeded in a non harvest place within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
