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 Middletown 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 idea to have any specific tree that has lost a good sized limb examined 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 offer this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate 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 total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees offer reduces cooling bills in the summertime and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees alongside houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having somebody trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or home siding.

Often whenever a tree is too near to a home we may just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be cleared away it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically pick out a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always best to conduct some research or refer to a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a home 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 home before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to pay a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their overall size trees can dominate small plants. Property owners should pick bushes or shrubs which will tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree can be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sun light. Even though it may be less costly 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 spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the correct location can certainly increase a property’s market value the inappropriate tree can impact a home’s value. Often we can enhance the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However sometimes to enhance the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not inhabit the very same spot. Such is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Generally in these instances tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are really feeling down about removing your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it may not mature in our life-time our kids or somebody else’s kids may appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyers however this is the way in which falling trees are typically interpreted according to the law. In the case that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or at fault for the tree dropping down. You clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible for tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only responsible for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a clause stating that they are exempt for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may 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 other hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notification to place the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many individuals who like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance business with the amount of calls we receive trying to find a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap ones I know typically aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are much worse compared to not having gutters at all. Obstructed downspouts cause the water to overflow into 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. Alternatively clean them yearly right 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 frequently remove trees simply because some people lay awake on windy night-times because of a specific tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the only way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to clear away all big trees inside of close quarters. It may be pricey to remove a number of trees near your Middletown NY home and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Commonly fears can be appeased by having a tree service professional evaluate 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 has to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Simply plant a new native tree at a much better location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for each dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest location within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
