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 take any tree that has recently lost a sizable limb surveyed by a tree professional who may do a risk assessment on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of charge. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees offer reduces cooling expenditures in the summer season and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees alongside houses can also make it possible for 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 inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone else trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In situations where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or siding.

Often if a tree is very near to a home we can just trim or prune 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 that case it may be better to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically decide on 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 prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to carry out some research or refer to a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a building 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 next owner to have to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their size trees can overshadow smaller plants. House owners should certainly decide on bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they will have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t performing well under a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sun light. Although it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you might just seek advice from a landscape company about changing to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the right location can boost a homes resale value the wrong tree can impact a home’s value. Oftentimes we can boost 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 boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not inhabit the very same area. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Often in these instances tree removal is the sole choice and if you are feeling down about clearing away your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it may not mature in our lifetime our kids or someone else’s kids may take joy in it.

Liability issues: are certainly not lawyer or attorneys however here is the way in which fallen trees are generally translated according to the law. In the event 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 part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with regard 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 provision pointing out that they are not responsible for deceased or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to place the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many homeowners who like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance operation with the number of calls we get searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Almost everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost ones I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts cause the water to overflow onto 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. Alternatively 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 because some people lay awake on windy night-times because of a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the sole way to make sure a tree does not fall on the house is to take out all large trees within close quarters. It may be pricey to remove a load of trees near your Sterling Forest NY residential property and often this eases the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Typically fears could be relieved by having a tree service expert examine 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 needs to be removed you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just simply plant a new native tree at a more desirable location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still want to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for each dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest area within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
