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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to take each and every tree that has recently lost a large limb examined by a tree professional that should do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of charge. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate 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” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees offer lowers cooling bills in the summer season and provides a barrier from the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees alongside houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone else trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

In some cases when a tree is very near to a house we can simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of 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 another more compact growing tree or simply opt for a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advised to conduct some research or refer to a landscape professional when choosing 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 house before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to pay a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their overall size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Property owners should certainly select bushes or shrubs that are able 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 increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sunshine. Although it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you love the tree you might just speak with a landscape expert about changing to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the correct location can improve a homes market value the wrong tree can impact a home’s value. Oftentimes we can enhance the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that at times to enhance the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not really occupy the very same location. Such is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Usually in these situations tree removal is the only alternative and if you are feeling depressed about removing your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it may not mature in our lifespan our kids or somebody else’s kids can take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not lawyers but here is the way in which fallen trees are often interpreted according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or at fault for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible when it comes to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a clause saying that they are not responsible for perished or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very 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 assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notification to place the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many property owners who like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning business with the amount of calls we receive looking for a good affordable gutter cleaner. Almost everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. Having said that clogged gutters are much 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 put in a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Otherwise 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 because some people lay awake on windy nights because of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to guarantee a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take down all big trees within close quarters. It could be pricey to remove a load of trees near your Southfields NY house and often this alleviates the fear but leaves some remorse. Often fears can be calmed by having a tree service pro examine the trees to make certain none of them have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply plant a new native tree at a far better 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 dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest site within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
