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 a good practice to have any tree that has lost a significant limb inspected by a tree professional who should do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of cost. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide 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 bills in the summer and provides a barrier against the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees alongside houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone else 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 effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or home siding.

Sometimes when a tree is too near to a home we can simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be cleared away it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or simply find a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or building. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to conduct some research or consult with a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their size trees can overshadow much smaller plants. House owners ought to go with bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sun light. While it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you love the tree you could seek advice from a landscape company about switching to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the most appropriate location may improve a homes market value the wrong tree can impact a home’s value. Often we can improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that at times to enhance the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not occupy the very same area. Such is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Usually in these scenarios tree removal is the only option and if you are really feeling down about clearing away your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Even though it does not mature in our lifespan our kids or someone else’s children may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are not legal representatives but here is the way fallen trees are typically interpreted according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or to blame for the tree dropping down. You clear away the part of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated with regard to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are only liable for your 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 they are not responsible for deceased or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many property owners who like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning operation with the number of telephone calls we receive searching for a good affordable gutter cleaner. Every one wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive ones I know typically aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to refer them. Having said that clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters at all. Clogged downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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 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 oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on windy night-times due to a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the only way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the home is to remove all big trees within striking distance. It can possibly be expensive to remove a bunch of trees near your Westtown NY property and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves some regret. Often fears could be appeased by having a tree service pro examine the trees to make certain none of them have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just plant a fresh native tree at a more desirable location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest site within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
