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 a good idea to have any tree that has likely lost a pretty big limb checked by a tree professional who can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees offer reduces cooling bills in the summer season and provides a buffer from the winter wind. However the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees near to houses can also permit 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 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| and then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Sometimes whenever a tree is too near to a property we may just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be removed it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be far better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just 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 property. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always best to do some research or consult a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a house 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 house before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their proportions trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Home-owners should certainly pick bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sun light. While it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you might seek advice from a landscape expert about changing to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the most appropriate location can certainly improve a property’s market value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Oftentimes we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply getting rid of 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 at times 2 things can not occupy the very same site. Such is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Usually in these circumstances tree removal is the only option and if you are feeling depressed about extracting your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Even though it doesn’t mature in our life time our children or someone else’s children may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are not legal professionals but this is the way fallen trees are normally interpreted based upon the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or liable for the tree falling. You dispose of the part of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a clause stating that these companies are not responsible for dead or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation concerning 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 professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many homeowners who like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning operation with the amount of telephone calls we receive trying to find a good cheap gutter cleaner. Every one would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to recommend them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are more frustrating than not having gutters at all. Obstructed downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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. Or else clean them yearly shortly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We frequently remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy nights because of a specific tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the only way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the house is to remove all large trees within close quarters. It may be pricey to remove a lot of trees near your Southfields NY property and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves some remorse. Commonly fears could be calmed by having a tree service pro inspect the trees to make certain none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just plant a brand 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 room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for each dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest place within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
