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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to take any tree that has likely lost a good sized limb checked out by a tree professional who can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service for 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 real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees offer decreases cooling costs in the summer and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees next to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down 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 rewire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Sometimes if a tree is very near to a house we will be able to just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be removed it might 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 simply decide on 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 building. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to do some research or hire a landscape company 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 just plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their proportions trees can overshadow smaller plants. Home owners should choose bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sunlight. While it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you cherish the tree you may consult a landscape professional about changing to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the most appropriate location can easily increase a homes resale value the wrong tree can damage property’s value. Often we can enhance the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Having said that in some cases to enhance the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not really inhabit the same spot. This is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Generally in these instances tree removal is the only choice and if you are really feeling depressed about removing your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Even though it does not mature in our life time our children or someone else’s kids may enjoy it.

Liability issues: are certainly not lawyer or attorneys however here is how fallen trees are often translated according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be negligent or at fault for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the section 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 residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a clause pointing out that they are not responsible for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause about dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to notify 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 expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many homeowners that like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance company with the amount of telephone calls we receive looking for a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Congested downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes them to rot. So that requires you to put in 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 specialist.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on windy night-times because of a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the only way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the house is to take out all big trees within close quarters. It could be expensive to remove a load of trees near your Slate Hill NY residence and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears could be soothed by having a tree service pro evaluate the trees to ensure none of them have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree needs to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just plant a brand new native tree at a better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still would like 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 seeded in a non harvest site within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
