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 a good idea to have every tree that has likely lost a substantial limb assessed by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of charge. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees offer reduces cooling costs in the hot months and provides a barrier against the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees near to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching his house because a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

Sometimes if a tree is very close to a house we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be removed it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just simply find 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 property. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to do some research or refer to a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate 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 subsequent owner to require to pay a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their overall size trees can dominate smaller plants. Home owners should certainly decide on bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sunlight. Whilst it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you may seek advice from a landscape company about changing to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the most appropriate location can improve a property’s value the wrong tree can damage property’s value. Often we can boost the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Unfortunately at times to boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not inhabit the very same spot. Such is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Normally in these circumstances tree removal is the sole solution and if you are really feeling down about getting rid of 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 well take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not lawyer or attorneys but this is the way falling trees are generally interpreted based upon the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or at fault for the tree dropping down. You clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only responsible for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a clause stating that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard 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 position the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many individuals that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance business with the amount of phone calls we get trying to find a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Every one wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive ones I know aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse than not having gutters at all. Clogged 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 put in a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Alternatively clean them yearly shortly 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 because some people lay awake on stormy nights because of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the sole way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the house is to take out all large trees inside of striking distance. It may be costly to remove a load of trees near your Otisville NY house and often this gets rid of the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears can be relieved by having a tree service professional inspect the trees to ensure none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Simply plant a new native tree at a more desirable location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have space on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few planted in a non harvest location within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
