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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to have each and every tree that has lost a significant limb inspected by a tree professional that may do a risk evaluation on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of cost. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees render lowers cooling bills in the summer months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees near to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house owing to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Often if a tree is too near to a home we can just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be removed it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply look for a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised 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 understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the building before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to locate a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their proportions trees can overshadow smaller plants. Property owners should choose bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sunlight. Whilst it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you may consult a landscape professional about changing to a different type of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the most appropriate location may increase a homes worth the wrong tree can damage property’s value. Often times we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that sometimes to boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not inhabit the very same site. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Usually in these circumstances tree removal is the only option and if you are feeling depressed about getting rid of your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it does not mature in our lifetime our children or someone else’s kids may well enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not legal professionals however here is how falling trees are commonly translated according to the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree dropping down. You clear away the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible with regard to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a clause saying that these companies are not responsible for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damage 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 neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to position the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many people that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning business with the number of calls we get seeking out a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost kind 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 trapped 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. Otherwise clean them yearly shortly after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that 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 nights as a result of a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the only way to make certain a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take out all big trees inside of striking distance. It could be expensive to remove a lot of trees near your Montgomery NY residence and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Often fears can be appeased by having a tree service expert inspect the trees to make certain none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree has to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just simply plant a brand-new native tree at a much better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still want to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for every single dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest area within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
