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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to take any tree that has lost a substantial limb surveyed by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of charge. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees render reduces cooling bills in the summertime and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees alongside houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A client of ours had us take down 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 trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or siding.

At times if a tree is very close to a home we may simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be taken off it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically think about 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 way to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to carry out some research or consult with a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their size trees can overshadow small plants. Home-owners should select bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sun light. While it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you may seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the proper location can certainly improve a homes value the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. Oftentimes we can boost the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that at times to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not inhabit the same area. This is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Usually in these circumstances tree removal is the only solution and if you are feeling depressed about extracting your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it does not mature in our life time our children or someone else’s kids may take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not legal professionals but this is insights on how fallen trees are typically interpreted according to the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or at fault for the tree falling. You remove the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only liable for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a provision stating that these companies are exempt for perished or unhealthy 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 stipulation about 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 notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notification to position the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many property owners who like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance company with the number of telephone calls we receive trying to find a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Everybody would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know typically aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are much worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts cause the water to overflow onto 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. 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 stormy night-times due to a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the sole way to insure a tree will never fall on the home is to take down all big trees within close quarters. It can be pricey to remove a bunch of trees near your Slate Hill NY property and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears can be calmed by having a tree service company evaluate the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree has to be removed you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just plant a fresh native tree at a much better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have room 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. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest place within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
