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 New Milford 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 still a good practice to take any specific tree that has recently lost a substantial limb inspected by a tree professional who can do a risk assessment on the tree to verify 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 necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees offer lowers cooling bills in the summer and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the reduction in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance section 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 due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having somebody trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or siding.

Sometimes when a tree is too close to a house we will be able to simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if lots of limbs need to be taken off it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply go 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 home. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to carry out some research or hire a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their size trees can overshadow smaller plants. House owners ought to choose bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree could be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sun light. Although it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you may speak with a landscape company about switching to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the proper location can certainly boost a homes market value the inappropriate tree can damage a home’s value. Oftentimes we can enhance the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply removing 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 two things can not inhabit the same site. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Usually in these situations tree removal is the sole option and if you are feeling down about taking out your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Even if it does not mature in our lifespan our children or somebody else’s kids may take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not lawyers however here is insights on how falling trees are normally interpreted according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree dropping down. You remove the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable when it comes to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a provision pointing out that these companies are not responsible for lifeless 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 clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other hand 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 evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to place the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many people that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning business with the number of calls we get trying to find a good cheap gutter cleaner. Almost everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know typically aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are more frustrating than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts cause the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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. Or else clean them yearly soon after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We often times remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy nights due to a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the sole way to make sure a tree will never fall on the home is to clear away all big trees inside of close quarters. It can possibly be costly to remove a bunch of trees near your New Milford NY residence and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears can be soothed by having a tree service pro assess the trees to ensure 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 don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just plant a fresh native tree at a more desirable location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still want to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for each dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few seeded in a non harvest site within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
