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 Sterling Forest 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 practice to have any tree that has likely lost a substantial limb checked by a tree professional that should do a risk assessment on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service for free. Injured trees are more 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 home is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees offer decreases cooling bills in the summer and provides a barrier against the winter wind. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees beside houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled 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 had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

At times if a tree is too near to a property we will be able to simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be removed 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 another more compact growing tree or basically figure out 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 other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to conduct some research or consult with a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to envisage the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to pay a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their proportions trees can overshadow much smaller plants. House owners should choose bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they will have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sunshine. While it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you love the tree you could seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the right location may boost a property’s market value the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. Often times we can improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Having said that in certain cases to boost the curb appeal we 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. This is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Normally in these instances tree removal is the sole solution and if you are really feeling depressed about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even though it may not mature in our lifetime our children or somebody else’s kids may well enjoy it.

Liability issues: are not legal representatives but here is how fallen trees are usually interpreted based upon the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be neglectful or liable for the tree falling. You clear away the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible with regard to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a clause pointing out that they are not responsible for perished or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause about dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard 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 residence you can use the written notice to place the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many property owners that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance company with the number of phone calls we get searching for a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive ones I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to recommend them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Obstructed downspouts cause the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes these to rot. So that requires you to put in a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Or else clean them yearly 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 remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy night-times because of a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the sole way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the house is to take out all big trees within striking distance. It may be costly to remove a load of trees near your Sterling Forest NY residence and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Typically fears could be appeased by having a tree service pro assess the trees to make sure none of them have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree needs to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply plant a new native tree at a much better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t 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 choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest place within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
