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: Once in a while storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to take every tree that has likely lost a sizable limb evaluated by a tree professional that may do a risk evaluation on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees offer lowers cooling bills in the summer time and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees close to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having somebody trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In cases where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or siding.

Occasionally whenever a tree is too close to a home we can just trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be taken off it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just pick out a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to do some research or consult a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a building 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 house before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to locate a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their scale trees can overshadow smaller plants. Homeowners should certainly pick bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunlight. While it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you love the tree you might just speak with a landscape professional about switching to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the most appropriate location may boost a homes market value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Often times we can enhance the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Unfortunately sometimes to enhance the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not really inhabit the same spot. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Oftentimes in these cases tree removal is the only alternative and if you are feeling down about clearing away your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Even though it does not mature in our lifespan our children or somebody else’s children may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: are certainly not attorneys but this is the way fallen trees are normally interpreted according to the law. In the case that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or at fault for the tree dropping down. You remove the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable for tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a clause saying that they are exempt for deceased or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notification to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many people who like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning business with the quantity of phone calls we receive searching for a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Every one wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced kind I know aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. Having said that clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Congested downspouts trigger 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 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 because some people lay awake on windy night-times because of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the sole way to make certain a tree does not fall on the house is to remove all large trees inside of striking distance. It can be pricey to remove a lot of trees near your Otisville NY property and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Typically fears could be relieved by having a tree service expert inspect the trees to ensure none of these have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just plant a 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 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. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple planted in a non harvest site within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
