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 Monroe 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 specific tree that has definitely lost a sizable limb examined by a tree professional who may do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service for free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees render lowers cooling costs in the summer and provides a barrier against the winter wind. Meanwhile the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees near to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching his house because 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 take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In situations where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or siding.

At times when a tree is too near to a home we can just trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically settle 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 building. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised to carry out some research or consult a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a house 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 subsequent owner to have to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their scale trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Home owners ought to decide on bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really 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 less expensive to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you could speak with a landscape expert about switching to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the right location can easily improve a homes worth the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. Often we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that sometimes to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not really inhabit the same location. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Normally in these situations tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling down about extracting your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Even though it doesn’t mature in our life time our kids or someone else’s kids may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not legal representatives but here is how fallen trees are typically interpreted according to the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or at fault for the tree falling. You clear away the part of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible with respect to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that they are not responsible for perished or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to place the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many property owners that like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance business with the amount of telephone calls we receive trying to find a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Every one wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-priced kind I know typically aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are worse than not having gutters at all. Obstructed downspouts cause the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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 right 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 simply because some people lay awake on stormy night-times as a result of a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the only way to make sure a tree will never fall on the home is to clear away all large trees within striking distance. It could be pricey to remove a great deal of trees near your Monroe NY house and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves some remorse. Typically fears could be appeased by having a tree service company inspect the trees to make sure none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. 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 do not have space on your property but still wish 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 even specify the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a few sown in a non harvest place within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
