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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good practice to have every tree that has recently lost a substantial limb surveyed by a tree professional who can do a risk assessment on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of charge. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees render lowers cooling costs in the summer time and provides a buffer from the winter wind. On the other hand the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees alongside houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house owing to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone trap and take out 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 actually in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

Sometimes if a tree is too near to a home we may simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be removed it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to remove 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 can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to carry out some research or refer to a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a building 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 pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their proportions trees can dominate smaller plants. Home-owners ought to choose bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they need to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really 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 cherish the tree you may speak with a landscape company about changing to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the most appropriate location can certainly improve a homes value the wrong tree can damage a home’s value. Often we can boost the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that in certain cases to enhance the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not really inhabit the very same area. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Generally in these circumstances tree removal is the only solution and if you are really feeling down about taking out your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Even though it doesn’t mature in our life time our children or someone else’s kids may appreciate it.

Liability issues: are not lawyer or attorneys however here is the way in which fallen trees are normally interpreted according to the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be neglectful or liable for the tree dropping down. You remove the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only responsible for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that they are exempt for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may 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 side 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 find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notification to position the expense of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many individuals who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning business with the quantity of phone calls we get looking for a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Every one wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive kind I know typically aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are much worse compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Congested downspouts cause the water to overflow onto 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. Or else 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 often times remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery nights because of a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to insure a tree will never fall on the house is to take down all big trees within striking distance. It could be pricey to remove a load of trees near your Otisville NY property and often this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears can be appeased by having a tree service company 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 cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just simply plant a new native tree at a more desirable location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have space 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. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest area within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
