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 Montgomery 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 a good idea to take any specific tree that has definitely lost a substantial limb evaluated by a tree professional that should do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain 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 warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees render decreases cooling costs in the hot months and provides a barrier from the winter wind. Meanwhile the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenditures to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees next to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot 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 re-wire the loft. In situations where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

Occasionally whenever a tree is too close to a property we may just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be taken off it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply go with a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to do some research or hire a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to envisage 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 new owner to require to pay a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their size trees can dominate small plants. Property owners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunshine. While it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you may speak with a landscape professional about changing to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the appropriate location may increase a homes market value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Oftentimes we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that at times 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 inhabit the same spot. This is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Normally in these cases tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling down about extracting your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it will not mature in our life time our children or someone else’s children may appreciate it.

Liability issues: are not legal professionals but this is how fallen trees are often translated according to the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed 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 obligated when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only responsible for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a stipulation saying that they are exempt for deceased or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might 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 flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard 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 home you can use the written notice to place the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many property owners that like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance company with the amount of telephone calls we get seeking out a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Every one wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap ones I know typically aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to recommend them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are much worse than not having gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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. Alternatively clean them yearly shortly 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 stormy nights as a result of a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the only way to guarantee a tree does not fall on the home is to take down all big trees inside of close quarters. It could be downright costly to remove a lot of trees near your Montgomery NY property and often this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears could be calmed by having a tree service professional 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 cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Simply plant a brand-new native tree at a much better location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few sown in a non harvest area within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
