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 Southfields 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 any tree that has definitely lost a good sized limb examined by a tree professional that should 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 require 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 lowers cooling costs in the summer season and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees close to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching his house owing to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down 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| then needed to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or siding.

Occasionally when a tree is too close to a home we may just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just choose a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to do some research or hire a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the building before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their overall size trees can overshadow small plants. Home owners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunlight. While it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you really love the tree you could consult a landscape company about switching to a different sort of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the proper location can certainly improve a property’s worth the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. Often we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that sometimes to improve the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not really occupy the very same site. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Oftentimes in these cases tree removal is the sole choice and if you are really feeling down about clearing away your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it will not mature in our lifetime our children or somebody else’s kids can take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not lawyers but here is the way in which fallen trees are ordinarily translated according to the law. On the assumption that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be neglectful or at fault for the tree dropping down. You clear away the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with regard to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a provision pointing out that they are exempt for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damages 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 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 residence you can use the written notification to place the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many homeowners who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning operation with the amount of calls we get trying to find a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Every one would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost ones I know typically aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are more frustrating than not having gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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 right after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We often times remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery nights due to a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the sole way to make certain a tree will never fall on the house is to take down all big trees within striking distance. It can possibly be expensive to remove a great deal of trees near your Southfields NY residential property and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly fears can be calmed by having a tree service pro evaluate the trees to ensure none of these have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just 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 don’t have room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for each dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest area within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
