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 Otisville 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 a good idea to take each and every tree that has definitely lost a pretty big limb inspected by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service for free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees offer reduces cooling bills in the summer time and provides a barrier against the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees alongside houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or siding.

Often if a tree is too near to a home we may just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be taken off it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or simply consider 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 building. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised to conduct 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 subsequent owner to have to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their proportions trees can overshadow smaller plants. Property owners should certainly pick bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they need to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree can be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full direct sunlight. Although it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you could seek advice from a landscape company about switching to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the correct location can certainly improve a property’s value the wrong tree can hurt 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 the house from the road. However sometimes to boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not occupy the very same site. This is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Generally in these instances tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are feeling down about getting rid of your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Even if it does not mature in our lifetime our kids or somebody else’s kids may appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are not legal representatives however this is how falling trees are commonly translated based upon the law. In the case that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not considered to be negligent or to blame for the tree falling. You clear away the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with respect to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a clause stating that these companies are exempt for dead or unhealthy 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 about dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect 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 don’t know of many people that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance business with the amount of calls we get trying to find a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Every one wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced ones I know aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are worse compared to not possessing 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 soon 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 windy nights due to a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over the house. The fact is the sole way to make certain a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take out all big trees within close quarters. It can possibly be expensive to remove a number of trees near your Otisville NY home and often this eases the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Typically fears could be relieved by having a tree service expert examine the trees to ensure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher 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 killer. Just simply plant a brand-new native tree at a much 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 sow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a few sown in a non harvest site within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
