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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to take every tree that has lost a significant limb inspected by a tree professional who can 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 necessitate 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 that trees offer reduces cooling expenditures in the summer and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees alongside houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching his house owing to a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having somebody trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or siding.

Often when a tree is very close to a home we can just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be taken off it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or simply pick 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 home. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always best to carry out some research or consult a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a house 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 home before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to have to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their overall size trees can overshadow much smaller plants. House owners ought to choose bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they will have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full sunshine. While it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you might seek advice from a landscape expert about changing to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the right location can certainly boost a homes worth the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. Oftentimes we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However at times to improve the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not occupy the same site. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Often in these scenarios tree removal is the only solution and if you are feeling depressed about removing your beloved tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it doesn’t mature in our lifetime our kids or someone else’s kids may appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyer or attorneys but this is the way fallen trees are usually interpreted according to the law. On the assumption that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree dropping down. You remove the part of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only responsible for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that they are exempt for deceased or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many property owners who like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning operation with the number of calls we get trying to find a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Clogged up downspouts trigger the water to overflow into 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. Otherwise clean them yearly soon after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy night-times as a result of a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the only way to make certain a tree does not fall on the house is to remove all large trees inside of striking distance. It can be downright costly to remove a lot of trees near your Southfields NY residence and often this eases the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears could be calmed by having a tree service expert inspect the trees to make sure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply plant a new native tree at a better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have space on your property but still want to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for every dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Cut 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.
