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 still a good idea to take any specific tree that has likely lost a substantial limb surveyed by a tree professional who may do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service for free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees provide lowers cooling costs in the summer and provides a buffer against the winter wind. Meanwhile the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees next to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In situations where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

At times when a tree is very near to a house we will be able to just trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply choose a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to carry out some research or consult a landscape professional 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 house before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their overall size trees can overshadow much smaller plants. House owners should go for bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full sunlight. Although it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you could seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the most appropriate location can improve a property’s worth the wrong tree can impact property’s value. Often times we can improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that sometimes to boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not really inhabit the very same location. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Often in these cases tree removal is the sole option and if you are really feeling depressed about removing your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our lifespan our kids or somebody else’s kids may take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are not legal representatives however this is the way falling trees are normally interpreted based upon the law. If the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or to blame for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated for tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a clause pointing out that they are exempt for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very 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 cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many property owners who like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance company with the quantity of phone calls we receive trying to find a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost ones I know typically aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are more frustrating than not possessing gutters at all. Blocked downspouts trigger 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 in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We often times remove trees simply because some people lay awake on windy nights because of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over the house. The fact is the sole way to insure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take out all big trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be downright costly to remove a load of trees near your Sterling Forest NY residence and often this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears could be calmed by having a tree service professional assess the trees to make sure none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Simply plant a brand-new native tree at a far better location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still want 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 sown in a non harvest location within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
