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 Westtown 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 take each and every tree that has definitely lost a pretty big limb examined by a tree professional that may do a risk assessment on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service totally free. 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 property is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees render lowers cooling expenditures in the summer and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees beside houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house owing 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 clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Sometimes if a tree is very close to a house we may simply trim or cut back 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 more suitable to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically pick out 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 foundation. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to conduct some research or consult with a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to understand 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 have to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Property owners should go with bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree could be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunlight. While it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you may speak with a landscape expert about switching to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the proper location can easily improve a homes resale value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. In many cases we can boost the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that sometimes to boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not inhabit the very same location. This is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Oftentimes in these situations tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are really feeling down about taking out your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Even if it does not mature in our life time our children or somebody else’s kids may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: are certainly not lawyers however this is the way in which falling trees are generally interpreted based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree falling. You remove the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible for tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a clause pointing out that they are exempt for dead or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s 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 neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notification to position the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many people that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance operation with the amount of telephone calls we get searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Every one wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive kind I know aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to recommend them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are much worse than not possessing gutters at all. Obstructed downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto 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. Alternatively clean them yearly shortly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on windy nights as a result of a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to guarantee a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to remove all big trees within close quarters. It could be expensive to remove a bunch of trees near your Westtown NY residence and often this alleviates the fear but leaves some regret. Often fears can be calmed by having a tree service company evaluate the trees to ensure none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just plant a 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 make 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. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few sown in a non harvest area within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
