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 Washingtonville 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 still a good idea to take any specific tree that has lost a good sized limb examined by a tree professional who should 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 most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees offer decreases cooling bills in the summertime and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees close to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

Often if a tree is too close to a property we will be able to simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically think about a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to carry out some research or consult a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend 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 subsequent owner to have to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their size trees can dominate smaller plants. House owners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they will have to tolerate 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 lawns only flourish in full sunlight. Although it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you might seek advice from a landscape expert about switching to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the correct location can boost a property’s market value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Oftentimes we can improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Unfortunately at times 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 really occupy the very same location. This is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Generally in these scenarios tree removal is the sole solution and if you are feeling depressed about extracting your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our life-time our kids or someone else’s children may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not lawyer or attorneys however here is the way in which falling trees are basically interpreted based upon the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be negligent or liable for the tree falling. You dispose of 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 instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a provision saying that these companies are not responsible for perished 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 stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to position the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many property owners that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning business with the quantity of telephone calls we get searching for a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Everybody wants 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. However clogged gutters are much worse than not having gutters at all. Congested downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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. Alternatively clean them yearly soon 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 nights as a result of a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the sole way to insure a tree will never fall on the house is to clear away all big trees inside of close quarters. It can be downright costly to remove a great deal of trees near your Washingtonville NY home and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears can be calmed by having a tree service company inspect the trees to make certain none of these have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just plant a new native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still want to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for every dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few seeded in a non harvest area within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
