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: Once in a while storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good practice to take any tree that has definitely lost a substantial limb checked out by a tree professional that should do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service for free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees offer reduces cooling expenditures in the summer and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the drop in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is dealt with 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 customer of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having someone else trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In cases where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Sometimes whenever a tree is very close to a property we can simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be removed it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically pick out 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 other to stop this other than tree removal it is always advised to do some research or refer to a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a building 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 building before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their size trees can overshadow smaller plants. House owners should certainly select bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they need to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunshine. While it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you love the tree you may consult a landscape company about switching to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the appropriate location can certainly improve a property’s worth the wrong tree can damage a home’s value. Oftentimes we can improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Having said that at times to enhance the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not really occupy the same location. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Generally in these circumstances tree removal is the only option and if you are feeling depressed about removing your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it may not mature in our lifetime our kids or someone else’s kids can appreciate it.

Liability issues: are not legal professionals but this is how falling trees are basically interpreted according to the law. In the event that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or at fault for the tree falling. You remove the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable with regard to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a stipulation stating that these companies are exempt for dead or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you can 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 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 residence you can use the written notification to position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many property owners that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance business with the amount of telephone calls we get trying to find a good cheap gutter cleaning service. 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. Nevertheless clogged gutters are much worse than not having gutters at all. Blocked 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 install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Or else clean them yearly right 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 because some people lay awake on blustery night-times because of a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the sole way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take out all large trees within striking distance. It can be downright costly to remove a bunch of trees near your Westtown NY house and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves some remorse. Commonly fears can be soothed by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to make sure none of them have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just simply plant a brand new native tree at a much 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 wish 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 specify the location by US State or country. Fell 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.
