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 Vails Gate 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 have every tree that has recently lost a large limb checked out by a tree professional who should do a risk assessment 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 almost all true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees provide reduces cooling costs in the summer time and provides a buffer from the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees next to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching his house owing to a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having somebody trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are actually in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

Occasionally when a tree is very near to a home we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be cleared away 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 a different more compact growing tree or just simply find a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advised to do some research or hire a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to envisage the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to require to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their overall size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Property owners ought to choose bushes or shrubs which can 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 under a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sunshine. Although it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you might just 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 proper location can boost a homes resale value the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. Often we can boost the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Unfortunately in some cases to enhance the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not occupy the same location. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Generally in these instances tree removal is the only choice and if you are really feeling depressed about getting rid of your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it does not mature in our life time our children or somebody else’s children may well enjoy it.

Liability issues: Our people are not lawyers however here is insights on how falling trees are generally translated according to the law. On the assumption 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 dispose of the part of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated with regard to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a clause stating that these companies are exempt for deceased or unhealthy 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 stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many property owners who like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance operation with the number of telephone calls we get looking for a good cheap gutter cleaner. Almost everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive ones I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes them to rot. So that requires you to install 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 if 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 blustery night-times as a result of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the only way to make sure a tree will never fall on the home is to take down all large trees inside of close quarters. It may be costly to remove a great deal of trees near your Vails Gate NY house and often this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Often fears can be calmed by having a tree service company evaluate the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be cleared away you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply plant a brand-new native tree at a better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still want to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest site within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
