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 still a good idea to take every tree that has likely lost a good sized limb surveyed by a tree professional that may do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees provide decreases cooling bills in the summer months and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees near to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or home siding.

Sometimes if a tree is too close to a house we may just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be far better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply pick out a more suitable location.

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

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their size trees can dominate small plants. Home-owners should certainly pick bushes or shrubs which will tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sunlight. Although it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you may consult a landscape professional about changing to a different sort of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the correct location can easily improve a property’s value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. In many cases we can boost the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Having said that in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not occupy the very same spot. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Usually in these cases tree removal is the sole option and if you are feeling depressed about getting rid of your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it doesn’t mature in our life-time our children or someone else’s kids can appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not attorneys but this is the way in which falling trees are normally translated based upon the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or at fault for the tree falling. You clear away the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible for tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a provision stating that they are exempt for deceased or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damages 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 next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very 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 residence you can use the written notification to position the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many people that like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance operation with the amount of phone calls we get searching for a good affordable gutter cleaner. Almost everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged up 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 install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Otherwise clean them yearly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We frequently remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times because of a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over the house. The fact is the sole way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to remove all big trees within close quarters. It can possibly be downright costly to remove a lot of trees near your Otisville NY home and often this alleviates the fear but leaves some remorse. Commonly fears could be relieved by having a tree service company assess the trees to ensure none of them have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree requires to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just plant a new native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t 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 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 couple sown in a non harvest location within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
