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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to take each and every tree that has definitely lost a substantial limb examined by a tree professional that can 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 more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees render lowers cooling expenditures in the summertime and provides a barrier against the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees near to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house owing to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

Sometimes when a tree is very close to a house we may simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically go for 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 prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to do some research or consult a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their overall size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Home-owners should choose bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full direct sunlight. While it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you may consult a landscape professional about changing to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the most appropriate location can certainly increase a homes resale value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. In many cases we can improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that sometimes to improve the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not inhabit the same location. This is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Often in these instances tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are feeling down about removing your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even if it does not mature in our life time our children or somebody else’s kids can enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are not attorneys but this is insights on how falling trees are normally translated based upon 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 dropping down. You dispose of the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable with respect to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only responsible for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a clause pointing out that they are not responsible for dead or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard 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 home you can use the written notification to position the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many homeowners that like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning operation with the amount of phone calls we receive trying to find a good cheap gutter cleaner. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive kind I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Obstructed downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught behind the gutters causes them 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 after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on windy nights due to a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the only way to insure a tree will never fall on the home is to take down all big trees within striking distance. It can be expensive to remove a lot of trees near your Monroe NY residential property and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Typically fears could 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. If a tree requires to be taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just plant a new native tree at a more desirable location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have room 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 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 sown in a non harvest place within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
