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 Salisbury Mills 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 take every tree that has likely lost a good sized limb looked over by a tree professional who can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of cost. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees provide decreases cooling bills in the summer time and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees beside houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone else trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Sometimes when a tree is too close to a house we will be able to simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be removed it may 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 choose on 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 other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to carry out some research or consult with a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a house 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 house before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to have to pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their size trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Homeowners should certainly decide on bushes or shrubs that are able to 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 underneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full direct sunlight. Even though it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you might seek advice from a landscape company about switching to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the correct location can improve a homes value the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. Often we can enhance the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Unfortunately sometimes to enhance the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not really occupy the same site. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Generally in these scenarios tree removal is the only option and if you are feeling down about taking out your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Even though it may not mature in our lifespan our children or someone else’s children can take joy in it.

Liability issues: are not lawyers however this is insights on how fallen trees are usually translated based upon the law. In the event that 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 part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that these companies are exempt for dead or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause about dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to position the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many people who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning operation with the amount of phone calls we get looking for a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive ones I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to refer them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are worse than not having gutters at all. Clogged 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. Alternatively clean them yearly shortly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy night-times due to a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to guarantee a tree does not fall on the house is to clear away all big trees within close quarters. It may be downright costly to remove a bunch of trees near your Salisbury Mills NY property and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears could be soothed by having a tree service professional evaluate the trees to ensure none of them have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just plant a fresh native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still want 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 also choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest location within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
