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: 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 take any tree that has lost a good sized limb checked by a tree professional that can do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain 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 perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees provide reduces cooling bills in the summer months and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees close to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching his house because a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

Sometimes if a tree is very close to a home we will be able to just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be taken off it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable 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 may clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to conduct some research or hire a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a home 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 house before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their overall size trees can dominate smaller plants. Homeowners ought to pick bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full direct sunlight. Although it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you could speak with a landscape professional about changing to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the correct location can improve a property’s market value the wrong tree can damage property’s value. Often we can enhance the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Having said that at times to boost the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not really inhabit the very same location. This is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Often in these cases tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling down about extracting your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even though it does not mature in our lifespan our children or someone else’s children can enjoy it.

Liability issues: Our people are not lawyer or attorneys but this is insights on how fallen trees are generally interpreted based upon the law. If the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or at fault for the tree falling. You remove the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable with regard to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a clause pointing out 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 clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to place the expense of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many people who like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning operation with the amount of telephone calls we get seeking out a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive kind I know typically aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to recommend them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are much worse compared to not possessing gutters at all. Clogged downspouts cause the water to overflow onto 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. Otherwise clean them yearly after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We often times remove trees simply because some people lay awake on windy nights as a result of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to make sure a tree does not fall on the house is to take down all large trees within striking distance. It may be costly to remove a bunch of trees near your Vails Gate NY residence and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears could be soothed by having a tree service company examine the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree needs to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just plant a brand new native tree at a far better 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 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 couple sown in a non harvest place within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
