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 Slate Hill 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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to take any specific tree that has recently lost a sizable limb examined by a tree professional that may do a risk evaluation on the tree to verify 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 almost all true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees offer reduces cooling costs in the summertime and provides a buffer from the winter wind. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees next to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching his house owing to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having someone else trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or home siding.

In some cases if a tree is too close to a home we can just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be taken off it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply select 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 home. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to do some research or refer to a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to envisage the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to pay a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their overall size trees can dominate much smaller plants. Home owners should choose bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for 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 can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunshine. Whilst it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you love the tree you could consult a landscape professional about switching to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the most appropriate location may boost a homes market value the wrong tree can impact property’s value. Often times we can enhance the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not inhabit the very same site. This is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Often in these instances tree removal is the sole option and if you are feeling depressed about taking out your beloved tree you can always plant another one. Even though it doesn’t mature in our lifetime our children or somebody else’s kids may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: are not legal representatives but this is the way in which falling trees are ordinarily interpreted based upon the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree dropping down. You remove the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable for 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 perished or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a provision saying that these companies are exempt for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 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 fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many individuals that like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning company with the quantity of calls we receive looking for a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Obstructed downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water caught behind the gutters causes them 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 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 stormy night-times due to a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the only way to guarantee a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take down all big trees inside of close quarters. It can be pricey to remove a number of trees near your Slate Hill NY house and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Typically fears could be relieved by having a tree service pro assess the trees to ensure none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree requires to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just simply plant a brand-new native tree at a far 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 would like to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for every dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest site within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
