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 practice to have every tree that has lost a good sized limb examined by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of cost. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees provide decreases cooling expenditures in the summer months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. Meanwhile the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to increase (this is dealt with 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 get into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had penetrated 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| and afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or siding.

Occasionally whenever a tree is very near to a property we can just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be cleared away it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more suitable to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically pick and choose a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or building. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to conduct some research or hire a landscape company when choosing 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 just plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their scale trees can dominate small plants. Property owners ought to choose bushes or shrubs which will tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well under a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sunlight. While it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you may consult a landscape professional about switching to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the appropriate location can boost a homes worth the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. In many cases we can enhance the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. However in certain cases to enhance the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not inhabit the same site. Such is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Usually in these circumstances tree removal is the sole solution and if you are feeling down about extracting your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Even though it may not mature in our life time our kids or somebody else’s children can appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are not legal representatives however here is how falling trees are generally translated according to the law. In the case that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be neglectful or liable for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the part of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable with respect to tree removal and repair works to his premises. 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 a few insurance policies have a clause pointing out that these companies are exempt for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause about dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect 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 house you can use the written notice to position the expense of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many individuals who like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning business with the amount of phone calls we receive looking for a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost kind I know aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are much worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged up 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. Otherwise clean them yearly right 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 remove trees simply because some people lay awake on windy night-times due to a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over the house. The fact is the only way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to remove all big trees inside of striking distance. It could be expensive to remove a number of trees near your Thompson Ridge NY residence and often this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Often fears could be soothed by having a tree service pro assess the trees to make certain none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just plant a brand-new native tree at a more desirable location on your property 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 sow a tree for each 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 cultivated in a non harvest location within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
