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 practice to have any specific tree that has definitely lost a sizable limb checked by a tree professional who should do a risk assessment on the tree to ensure that 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 carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees offer decreases cooling bills in the hot months and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees alongside 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 his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having somebody trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Sometimes if a tree is too close 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 cleared away it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply look 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 way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to carry out some research or consult with a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to require to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their size trees can dominate much smaller plants. Property owners should certainly go for bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full direct sunlight. While it may be less expensive to take out the tree| if you really love the tree you might consult a landscape professional about changing to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the appropriate location can easily increase a homes value the inappropriate tree can damage a home’s value. Often times we can enhance the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Having said that sometimes to boost the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not occupy the very same area. This is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Normally in these scenarios tree removal is the sole option and if you are really feeling depressed about clearing away your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it will not mature in our lifespan our children or somebody else’s children may take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not lawyer or attorneys but this is the way in which fallen trees are often interpreted based upon the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be negligent or to blame for the tree dropping down. You dispose of 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 premises. You are actually only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a provision pointing out that they are exempt 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 concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many property owners that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning operation with the amount of telephone calls we get seeking out a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are much worse compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water caught behind the gutters causes these 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 right after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy night-times due to a particular tree or trees that shake 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 large trees within striking distance. It can be downright costly to remove a number of trees near your Montgomery NY house and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves some regret. Often fears could be appeased by having a tree service expert assess the trees to make certain 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 really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Simply plant a fresh native tree at a better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew 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 grow a tree for every dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest place within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
