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 Sugar Loaf 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: Once in a while storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to have each and every tree that has definitely lost a good sized limb looked at by a tree professional who can do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of cost. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees provide lowers cooling bills in the summer months and provides a barrier from the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees beside houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house owing 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 else trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

In some cases whenever a tree is too near to a property we will be able to simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be taken off it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply pick and choose 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 building. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always best to carry out some research or consult with a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to understand 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 new owner to have to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their scale trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Home-owners should choose bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they will have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full sun light. Even though it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might just seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the correct location can improve a property’s value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Oftentimes we can boost the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Unfortunately in some cases to boost the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not really inhabit the same site. This is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Usually in these circumstances tree removal is the sole choice and if you are feeling depressed about clearing away your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it will not mature in our life-time our children or somebody else’s kids may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: are not lawyers but here is how falling trees are usually 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 at fault for the tree falling. You dispose of the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with respect to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a stipulation saying that they are exempt for dead or unhealthy 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 flip side 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 house you can use the written notice to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many homeowners that like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning business with the amount of telephone calls we get seeking out a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Everybody wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost ones I know aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to refer them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are worse than not having gutters whatsoever. Clogged up 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 put in a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Or else clean them yearly shortly 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 times remove trees because some people lay awake on windy night-times as a result of a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the only way to guarantee a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take down all big trees inside of close quarters. It can possibly be downright costly to remove a number of trees near your Sugar Loaf NY residential property and often this eases the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears can be relieved by having a tree service pro examine the trees to ensure none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree requires to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just simply plant a new native tree at a much 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 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 few planted in a non harvest place within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
