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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to have every tree that has lost a sizable limb inspected by a tree professional who can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of charge. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees render lowers cooling costs in the summer and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees near to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having somebody trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Sometimes when a tree is too near to a property we may simply trim or prune 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 which case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or simply figure 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 foundation. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to do some research or hire a landscape company when deciding 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 just plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their size trees can dominate smaller plants. Home owners should choose bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they will have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree can be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sunshine. Even though it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you may consult a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the proper location can easily increase a property’s market value the inappropriate tree can damage a home’s value. In many cases we can improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. However at times to boost the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not really occupy the very same site. Such is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Oftentimes in these cases tree removal is the sole option and if you are really feeling down about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our lifetime our kids or someone else’s kids can enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyer or attorneys however this is insights on how falling trees are generally translated based upon the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or to blame for the tree dropping down. You remove the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with regard to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are 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 some insurance policies have a clause pointing out that these companies are exempt for deceased 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 stipulation about 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 advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to position the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many people who like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance business with the amount of calls we get seeking out a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Everybody would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced kind I know typically aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to recommend them. Having said that clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters at all. Obstructed downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes these 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 shortly 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 frequently remove trees because some people lay awake on windy nights as a result of a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to insure a tree will never fall on the home is to take out all large trees inside of striking distance. It can be pricey to remove a great deal of trees near your Westtown NY home and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Typically fears can be appeased by having a tree service expert inspect the trees to make certain 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 do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply plant a brand-new native tree at a better 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 would like to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for each dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple planted in a non harvest place within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
