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 Port Jervis 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 practice to have any tree that has recently lost a large limb assessed by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service totally free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees render reduces cooling expenditures in the summer time and provides a buffer against the winter wind. Meanwhile the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees close to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down 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 shelled out a bunch of money having someone trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In situations where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or siding.

At times whenever a tree is very near to a home we can just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be removed it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just simply pick and choose a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to do some research or consult with a landscape company 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 building before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to locate a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their overall size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Property owners should certainly pick bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they will have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full direct sunlight. While it may be less expensive to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you might speak with a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the right location can easily improve a homes resale value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Oftentimes we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically 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 have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not occupy the very same location. This is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Oftentimes in these scenarios tree removal is the only alternative and if you are feeling depressed about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it may not mature in our lifespan our children or somebody else’s kids may appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not lawyer or attorneys however this is the way in which fallen trees are typically translated based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or at fault for the tree falling. You dispose of 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 premises. You are actually only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a stipulation stating that they are not responsible for perished or diseased trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s 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 best way to protect yourself is to advise 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 residence you can use the written notice to place the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many property owners who like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning business with the number of telephone calls we get searching for a good affordable gutter cleaner. Almost everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive kind I know typically aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. Having said that clogged gutters are much worse than not having gutters at all. Clogged up downspouts cause the water to overflow into 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 after all the leaves have fallen and if 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 blustery nights as a result of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the only way to make certain a tree does not fall on the home is to take down all large trees inside of close quarters. It could be costly to remove a load of trees near your Port Jervis NY residence and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears can be calmed by having a tree service expert inspect the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree requires to be taken down you really don’t 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 estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t 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 each dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest location within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
