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: Once in a while 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 recently lost a pretty big limb looked at by a tree professional that should do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of charge. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees offer lowers cooling expenditures in the summer months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees beside houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or siding.

At times when a tree is too near to a home we will be able to simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be removed it may 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 just make a decision on a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to carry out some research or consult a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their size trees can overshadow small plants. Home-owners ought to pick bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full direct sunlight. Although it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you love the tree you may seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different type of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the proper location can easily improve a homes market value the inappropriate tree can impact a home’s value. In many cases we can boost the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Having said that in some cases to boost the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not really occupy the very same site. This is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Generally in these situations tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling down about extracting your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Even though it does not mature in our lifetime our kids or somebody else’s kids may enjoy it.

Liability issues: Our people are not attorneys however this is the way in which falling trees are normally interpreted according to the law. In the case that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree dropping down. You clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated with respect to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a clause saying that they are not responsible for perished or diseased trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s 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 best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to position the expense of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many homeowners that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance operation with the amount of calls we get looking for a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know typically aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are much worse compared to not possessing gutters at all. Congested downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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 after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We frequently remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy night-times as a result of a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the sole way to make certain a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to remove all large trees within striking distance. It may be pricey to remove a load of trees near your Montgomery NY residential property and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Typically fears can be soothed by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to make sure none of them have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be taken down you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Simply plant a fresh native tree at a more desirable location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have space on your property but still want to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple sown in a non harvest location within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
