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 idea to take every tree that has likely lost a sizable limb checked out by a tree professional who may do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service for 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 provide 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 provide decreases cooling costs in the summer months and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees next 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 thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having somebody trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or siding.

Sometimes if a tree is very close to a home we can just trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if lots of limbs need to be removed it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just pick out a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to conduct some research or consult a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to understand 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 have to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their scale trees can overshadow small plants. Property owners should pick bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunlight. Whilst it may be less expensive to take out the tree| if you love the tree you could seek advice from a landscape company about changing to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the appropriate location can certainly increase a property’s resale value the wrong tree can damage a home’s value. Often we can enhance the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not really occupy the same location. Such is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Often in these scenarios tree removal is the only choice and if you are feeling down about extracting your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it does not mature in our lifespan our children or someone else’s kids can appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are not lawyers however here is the way falling trees are often translated according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or at fault for the tree falling. You dispose of the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated when it comes to tree removal and repairs 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 next-door neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a stipulation stating that these companies are not responsible for perished or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to position the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many individuals who like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance operation with the quantity of calls we get looking for a good affordable gutter cleaner. Every one wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-priced kind I know typically aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to recommend them. Having said that clogged gutters are more frustrating than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Blocked 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 specialist.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on blustery night-times because of a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the sole way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the home is to take out all big trees within close quarters. It can possibly be downright costly to remove a lot of trees near your Southfields NY property and often this eliminates the fear but leaves some regret. Often fears could be relieved by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to ensure none of them have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree requires to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. 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 do not have room on your property but still want 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 choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few seeded in a non harvest area within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
