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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to take each and every tree that has recently lost a good sized limb looked over by a tree professional that can do a risk assessment on the tree to check 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 warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees render lowers cooling costs in the summertime and provides a barrier from the winter wind. Meanwhile the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees alongside houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In situations where limbs are actually in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

Often if a tree is very close 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 taken off it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically select 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 foundation. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised to carry out some research or consult with a landscape company when deciding 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 property before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their scale trees can overshadow small plants. Home-owners should choose bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree can be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full direct sunlight. Even though it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you cherish the tree you might consult a landscape company about switching to a different sort of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the correct location may increase a homes worth the wrong tree can impact property’s value. Oftentimes we can boost the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. However at times to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not really occupy the very same spot. This is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Normally in these situations tree removal is the only option and if you are feeling down about removing your beloved tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it will not mature in our lifetime our children or someone else’s children may take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not legal professionals but this is the way falling trees are often interpreted according to the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be neglectful or to blame for the tree dropping down. You clear away the section of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable with respect to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only responsible for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that they are exempt for dead or unhealthy 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 protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notification to place the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many individuals who like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance company with the amount of telephone calls we get seeking out a good cheap gutter cleaner. Every one wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive ones I know typically aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Obstructed downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto 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. Otherwise clean them yearly after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that 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 due to a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the sole way to guarantee a tree does not fall on the house is to take out all big trees within close quarters. It could be downright costly to remove a bunch of trees near your Sterling Forest NY property and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly fears can be calmed by having a tree service pro inspect the trees to ensure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher 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 monster. Just simply plant a fresh native tree at a far better location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest location within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
