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 Westbrookville 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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to have each and every tree that has lost a good sized limb surveyed by a tree professional who may do a risk evaluation on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of cost. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals make available 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 that trees provide lowers cooling bills in the hot months and provides a barrier against the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees close to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten in 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| then had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or siding.

At times if a tree is very close to a house we may just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be removed it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just figure out a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to carry out some research or consult with a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a property 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 home before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their overall size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Home owners should certainly select bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well under a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full sun light. Whilst it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you might consult a landscape expert about changing to a different sort of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the appropriate location may boost a homes resale value the inappropriate tree can hurt property’s value. In many cases we can enhance the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that in some cases to boost the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not occupy the same spot. This is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Generally in these circumstances tree removal is the sole option and if you are really feeling down about extracting your favorite 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 appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyers however here is the way in which fallen trees are often translated according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or to blame for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible with regard to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a provision pointing out that they are not responsible for perished or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation 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 professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notification to position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many individuals that like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning business with the quantity of calls we get searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-priced ones I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to recommend them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged up 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 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 times remove trees because some people lay awake on blustery nights due to a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the sole way to make sure a tree does not fall on the house is to take down all big trees inside of striking distance. It can be costly to remove a load of trees near your Westbrookville NY residence and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves some regret. Often fears can be calmed by having a tree service company inspect the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be cleared away you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just plant a new native tree at a more desirable location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have room 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. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple sown in a non harvest location within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
