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: Sometimes 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 good sized limb assessed 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 for free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require 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” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees render reduces cooling costs in the summer time and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the drop in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees alongside houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone else 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 continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

In some cases when a tree is very close to a house we can just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be cleared away it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more suitable to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically decide on 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 property. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to conduct some research or refer to a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a home 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 building before it reaches maturity leaving the new 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 choose bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sunshine. Whilst it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you could speak with a landscape professional about switching to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the right location can easily increase a property’s resale value the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. In many cases we can improve 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 your property from the road. Having said that in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not inhabit the same site. This is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Usually in these cases tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling depressed about removing your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even if it will not mature in our life time our children or somebody else’s children may take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are not legal representatives however here is the way in which fallen trees are typically interpreted according to the law. On the assumption that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be negligent or to blame for the tree falling. You remove the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a clause pointing out that these companies are not responsible for perished or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damage 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 best way to protect yourself is to advise 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 expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many property owners who like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning business with the quantity of telephone calls we get looking for a good cheap gutter cleaner. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-priced kind I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse than not having gutters whatsoever. Congested downspouts trigger 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. Alternatively clean them yearly right after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees because some people lay awake on blustery night-times due to a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the sole way to insure a tree will never fall on the home is to remove all large trees within striking distance. It may be pricey to remove a number of trees near your Middletown NY home and often this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Often fears could be relieved by having a tree service expert examine the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just plant a brand-new native tree at a more desirable 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 sow a tree for each dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple planted in a non harvest place within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
