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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to have each and every tree that has recently lost a sizable limb examined by a tree professional that may do a risk evaluation on the tree to make sure 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 necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees provide lowers cooling expenditures in the hot months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenditures to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees close to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having someone trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

Occasionally whenever a tree is very near to a home we can simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be taken off it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just go with a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or building. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advised to do some research or refer to a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend 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 hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their scale trees can overshadow smaller plants. Property owners should pick bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree could be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunshine. Even though it may be less expensive to take out the tree| if you love the tree you may consult a landscape expert about changing to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the appropriate location can boost a property’s worth the wrong tree can damage a home’s value. Often we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house 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 at times 2 things can not occupy the same location. Such is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Often in these scenarios tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really 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 somebody else’s kids may enjoy it.

Liability issues: are not attorneys but here is the way fallen trees are typically interpreted based upon the law. In the case that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be negligent or to blame for the tree falling. You clear away the section of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated with regard to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only liable for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a stipulation saying that these companies are exempt for perished or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about 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 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 notification to position the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many people that like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning company with the number of telephone calls we receive looking for a good cheap gutter cleaner. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-priced ones I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to recommend them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters at all. Congested downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes them 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 soon 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 windy night-times as a result of a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the only way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to clear away all large trees within close quarters. It can possibly be expensive to remove a number of trees near your Sterling Forest NY property and often this alleviates the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly fears can be appeased by having a tree service expert assess the trees to make sure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has to be taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply plant a fresh native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still would like 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 even choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple planted in a non harvest location within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
