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 every tree that has likely lost a significant limb surveyed by a tree professional who may do a risk assessment on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service totally free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees render lowers cooling costs in the summertime and provides a buffer against the winter wind. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to increase (this is addressed 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 client of ours had us take down some trees touching his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Often when a tree is too near to a home we will be able to just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home 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 remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply figure out a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or building. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to conduct some research or consult with a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the home 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: Thanks to their overall size trees can dominate small plants. House owners should certainly pick bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they need to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full sun light. Although it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you really love the tree you might just consult a landscape professional about changing to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the right location can easily increase a homes value the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. Often we can boost the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However sometimes to boost the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not really occupy the same site. Such is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Oftentimes in these instances tree removal is the sole option and if you are feeling down about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even if it does not mature in our lifespan our children or someone else’s kids may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are not legal professionals however here is how fallen trees are ordinarily translated according to the law. If the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or to blame for the tree falling. You dispose of the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with regard to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are only liable for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a provision stating that they are exempt for dead or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you could 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 other side 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 find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to place the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many individuals who like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning company with the quantity of telephone calls we get looking for a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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. Otherwise 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 often times remove trees because some people lay awake on windy night-times because of a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the only way to make sure a tree will never fall on the house is to take out all big trees within close quarters. It may be expensive to remove a great deal of trees near your Slate Hill NY home and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly fears could be calmed by having a tree service pro evaluate the trees to ensure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be taken down you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just simply plant a new native tree at a more desirable 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 would like to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for every single 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 site within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
