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 a good practice to have any tree that has lost a substantial limb inspected by a tree professional who can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of cost. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees provide lowers cooling bills in the hot months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees close to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate 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 bunch of money having somebody trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

Occasionally when a tree is too near to a property we can simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be removed it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more suitable to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply think about a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to carry out some research or consult 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 just plan to sell the building before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to require to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their overall size trees can dominate small plants. Property owners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sunlight. Although it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you may consult a landscape company about switching to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the appropriate location can certainly increase a property’s market value the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. In many cases 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 house from the road. However sometimes to enhance the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not occupy the very same location. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Usually in these situations tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are really feeling down about getting rid of your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Even if it will not mature in our lifetime our children or someone else’s kids may appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are not attorneys but here is the way falling trees are basically translated based upon the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or to blame for the tree dropping down. You remove the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable with regard to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are actually only liable for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a stipulation stating that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may 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 hand 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 find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to position the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many property owners who like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning operation with the amount of phone calls we receive seeking out a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Every one wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive kind I know typically aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to recommend them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not having gutters at all. Clogged downspouts cause the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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 in the event that 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 because of a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the sole way to insure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to remove all large trees within striking distance. It can be downright costly to remove a great deal of trees near your Sterling Forest NY house and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves some remorse. Commonly fears could be appeased by having a tree service expert inspect the trees to ensure none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Simply plant a brand new native tree at a much 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 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 specify the location by US State or country. Chop down 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.
