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 Thompson Ridge 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 idea to take every tree that has likely lost a pretty big limb looked over by a tree professional who should do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain 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 almost all true tree service professionals make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees render lowers cooling bills in the summertime and provides a barrier against the winter wind. However the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees next to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A client of ours had us remove 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 bunch 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 rewire the loft. In situations where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

In some cases whenever a tree is very near to a home we can just trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be removed it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more effective to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically go for a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to do some research or consult 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 may plan to sell the building before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to pay a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their proportions trees can dominate small plants. Property owners should certainly select bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they need to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sun light. Whilst it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you might speak with a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the most appropriate location can certainly improve a property’s resale value the inappropriate tree can damage a home’s value. Often we can improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However in some cases to enhance the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not inhabit the same site. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Generally in these cases tree removal is the sole solution and if you are really feeling down about removing your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it does not mature in our life time our children or somebody else’s kids may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyer or attorneys but this is the way in which falling trees are typically interpreted according to the law. In the event that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or at fault 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 property. You are only responsible for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a clause pointing out that they are not responsible for perished or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s 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 neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. 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 really don’t know many people who like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance operation with the amount of calls we get searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced ones I know typically aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to recommend them. Having said that clogged gutters are more frustrating than not having gutters whatsoever. Clogged 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 install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Otherwise clean them yearly right after all the leaves have fallen and if 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 windy night-times due to a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the only way to insure a tree will never fall on the home is to take down all big trees within striking distance. It can possibly be pricey to remove a bunch of trees near your Thompson Ridge NY home and often this gets rid of the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears can be appeased by having a tree service pro examine the trees to make sure none of these have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. 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 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. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few seeded in a non harvest location within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
