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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good practice to have any tree that has recently lost a substantial limb looked at by a tree professional that may do a risk evaluation on the tree to check 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 warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees provide lowers cooling costs in the summer months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees alongside houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and trampled 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| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

At times if a tree is very near to a house we can just trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be removed it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically select 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 building. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always best to conduct some research or refer to a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the building before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their overall size trees can dominate smaller plants. Property owners ought to choose bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunshine. Even though it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you may speak with a landscape expert about changing to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the most appropriate location may increase a property’s value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. In many cases we can 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 home from the road. Unfortunately in some cases to improve the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not inhabit the very same location. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Often in these cases tree removal is the only option and if you are really feeling depressed about removing your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our lifespan our kids or someone else’s kids may appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not lawyers however this is how fallen trees are commonly translated based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or at fault for the tree dropping down. You clear away the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that they are exempt for deceased 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 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 advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notification to place the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many property owners that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning business with the number of phone calls we get seeking out a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced kind I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are much worse compared to not possessing gutters at all. Clogged downspouts cause the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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 right 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 because of a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the only way to make certain a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take out all big trees within striking distance. It can be costly to remove a number of trees near your Thompson Ridge NY residence and often this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Often fears could be soothed by having a tree service company evaluate the trees to make sure 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 really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just simply plant a 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 space 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 few cultivated in a non harvest location within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
